This might just be one of those revolutionary moments in the history of consumer software engineering. Yes, its not native to the OS primitives etc. But with a strong core graphics engine, that's just an abstraction away. You can alway

I like ZSF and what it stands for. I don’t like “American” only politics in it. Thats it. In fact I would like zero politics in it. (from anywhere in the world) Bash the mediocrity in software that we have produced over the years. Slow. Ele

This. Writing a parser in Zig is so simple. Just allocate once, and then start writing your parser. One allocator for parser, one for scanner. One for type allocation. Keep them all for semantic analysis. Write the output renderer (binary&#

This is state of the art. It will take time before Tigerbeetle themselves release their state machine as a library. They have done some incredible job. Implementing things I didnt know existed about software/hardware.

I dont know if you want to monetize this. But I suggest make it open source. You will receive tons of improvements and updates. I love this idea!

Python doesn't work with circular imports. NodeJS does. After using NodeJS for such a long time, I think it is a feature that is taken for granted. That being said, the Nim team is working on it as per a few issues: [1] https:/&#

I loved Nim when I used it first. But I left it because of recursive imports. I had to basically put all my types into one file and use them from various others. For a relatively medium sized project (~10LOC), its a but of a hassle. Refacto

Go through Zig’s Async. Its a bit like co-routines but low level. You are required to keep track of memory allocations and pointers to function “frames”. For someone coming from a high-level language POV, frames were a new concept. But Zig

Welcome to Hackernews. Being sour is part of every user here just to spread negativity in the guise of "user feedback". Just ignore those comments and read the positive ones. This project is really good. Really really good!

Try logging in programming.dev and check your network tab. You will see the request being sent as a websocket. The lemmy author implemented lemmy so as to see how fast you can get the site working. Inferno, Rust, WebSockets. He probably did

Yeah. This is exactly why I think the meta-frameworks wont really matter in a decade’s time or will disappear. InertiaJS is an idea/implementation I like and its way of mitigating this issue of meta-framework dependence.

The exact problem with SvelteKit, NextJS, NuxtJS etc is the plugin the OP has to create. Somehow these meta-framework don't make much sense once you go past the basic DB -> REST -> SSR apis. Productivity decline is a guarantee. D

A question. Other than basic APIs what do Khan Academy do that is deemed complex from server side POV. Using GraphQL and all those jargons and all. Would a Rails app (not considering perf) be good enough for the same. I am asking being curi

Hi. I am the author of EKON. I realized YAML was doing too many things. EKON was meant to be an extension of JSON5. Although right now I realise its also doing too many stuffs under the hood. I should rewrite the project again. But be as si

Weird there are even negative comments about UPI. That too from people who haven't lived in pre-UPI era. My father and my uncle both have had history of losing cash to robbery earlier in the past in broad daylight. Snatch and run. Huge

> The developer experience is night and day with Svelte(kit) Svelte has a cool DX. Best I have seen. SvelteKit not so much.

Hey Kevin! First of all. I am a regular listener to your podcast! Love it! Now, I am not specifically targeting SvelteKit to be fair. But the whole host of meta-frameworks like NextJS, NuxtJS etc which Vercel is pushing. These frameworks in

by himujjal 3y ago
I agree with this comment. SvelteKit is unnecessarily complicated. The `+page.svelte` etc are just the start of it. Plus I can't use it with Go, PHP, Ruby, Rust etc when it comes to SSR (without running multiple servers and handling de

Squeezing unnecessary performance for no reason is just stupidity and time wasting at best. When I say turbopack, I was thinking why the hell would someone need this. Vite is fast enough for everybody. Quite fast indeed. Then there is Parce

Yeah. checked out wasm part. But man. I am not going to go into Nim without cyclic imports. I was writing a compiler I remember where I hit the 5k LOC mark in Nim. And then the errors and stuff. It was a terrible experience putting all the

This is what I have been saying. Amazon makes people work 8-12 hours a day here in India and its not even talked about. And this is not actually known before joining. At least bun says that outright. Some people actually don't mind wor

I would have used Nim for just about everything, had there been: 1. Support for cyclic imports 2. Official WASM support. I know nlvm exists. But those are two separate runtimes to be managed for long time.
