Although esbuild has been out for a while now, I think it's relevant today because the benchmarks have been updated to include Parcel 2, which was just released earlier today.

Hi, one of the authors of the router here :) Try to insert routing only when you need it. When you're ready for a router, react-router is a great choice. Lots of people are already using it with great success, and you'll find a gr

Ah, great catch! I never see that error because that file is only loaded in browsers that don't have a native window.fetch. Thanks for catching that. Will fix right away.

Karma and Mocha don't do the same thing, so this comparison is weird. Karma is a test runner. Use Karma to launch and run your tests in real browser instances. There is no better tool available for doing this. Mocha is used to actually

> That sounds like a terrible design decision. The author never said it was a good design decision, or even a desirable one. He only said it would be impossibly difficult to do in a purely functional program, which is worth considering.

Co-author of ReactRouter here. With regards to #2, I used to think that a fully sync render function was a limitation of React, but have come to appreciate the fact that React tries to restrict its concerns to a very small, but significant

> The point of React is to mix HTML and JS together. In React, there are no "templates." There's just JavaScript, and then more JavaScript that looks kind of like HTML (JSX). But it's all still JavaScript. Also, FWIW,

Awesome stuff James :) I've been having a lot of those weird client vs. server realizations myself. Still getting used to thinking about stuff that renders in both places. I'm particularly interested in hearing about your ansible

Using Go (or Scala or Java or whatever) doesn't magically scale a large system. Scaling problems in large systems are rarely solved at the micro level, i.e. you don't "scale" by simply gaining the ability to run more ope

This is HUGE! Thanks to everyone at Facebook who worked on this. You guys are awesome. Also: The fact that this is written primarily in OCaml (as opposed to JS) is an excellent example of people choosing the right tool for the job.

I'm constantly impressed by the level of execution of the Elixir project. In ~3 years they have accomplished much more than many other language ecosystems have to date. It's great to see the core maintainers understand that you ne

That should be part of your build system, not your package manager.

tl;dr: "We want to build isomorphic apps, so we wrote a new package manager" Coupling the goal of building isomorphic apps with the need for a new way of managing packages to accomplish that goal doesn't make any sense. How y

Although it's not quite the same as a native app, we already have built in support for desktop notifications on all browsers that support them, including some older WebKits.

No. ;) There is a Mac desktop client but the app will be available on the web as well.
