Will try to push a fix in the next few hours. We are instantiating the monaco editor with a custom font (Source Code Pro) before we're sure the font has loaded, which throws of the char box measurements in monaco. We did have a fix for

Right now, only js is supported out of the box, but I guess any language that can run via web assembly or other techniques could work. WebContainers has experimental python support, but it won't work with a lot of the dependencies you

In my experience the accuracy is at least a bit better than whisper-small on their enhanced models. But we've just started using it so haven't had time to do many direct comparisons with whisper. Their word-timestamps are _much_ b

Did you try their enhanced models? We're using it for relatively high-quality audio files and their accuracy is better than the whisper small.en model. More importantly, their word level timestamps is worlds better than whisper.

We've been researching different speech models at Scrimba, and went for Whisper on our own infrastructure. A few days ago I stumbled onto Deepgram, which blows whisper out of the water in terms of speed and accuracy (we need high preci

Yes, I've also had this experience with React. I've created several imba apps with more complex UI than an average webstore and still rerender from root without even being close to spending 16ms on a full rerender. It does work.

Everything rerenders from the root of the editor (that is - not the syntax highlighting of the code itself - as that is handled by monaco).

The ltree extension is fantastic if you have data like comments or any other hierarchical structure.

The ltree extension ( https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ltree.html ) is perfect for this usecase.

Brilliant! We're well on our way to migrating. The experience has been buttery smooth so far. And the codebase itself is really well organized. Huge thumbs up!

What a coincidence seeing this on HN. Great lib! I actually experimented with replacing our use of node-postgres with this today. Your lib was the reason I finally got around to shipping support for tagged template literals in Imba today (

I played through it myself and tbh I think the video doesn't do it justice. I haven't been this blown away in years. Until I got to take over the controls I was utterly convinced there had to be pre-rendered video thrown into the

Yeah, it's not really optimized for that. The floating labels over the code examples are offset in 3d space (for a subtle parallax effect while scrolling), so when HW acceleration is off it may end up repainting the page on every scrol

I will try to add v2 to that benchmark relatively soon - it is a lot faster than v1 and has a much lower memory footprint and faster initial load time :) Should probably combine it with a few pull requests to the benchmark itself - as I con

Tbh, I think the js-framework-benchmark is flawed. It mostly tests the performance of the browser. I should write a whole blog post about this. Just as an example, all the table benchmarks uses a table with non-fixed width, which results in

You can typeset variables, parameters etc (ie. see the code in https://dev.to/somebee/global-type-augmentations-with-automa... ). But declaring standalone types is still done in `.d.ts` files. Imho, the type inference i

by somebee 5y ago
Yeah, the typescript-imba-plugin does quite a lot of magic and might be a little rough to get into. We essentially do the type-checking by compiling the files to js with jsdoc annotations, and for some features we also generate `.d.ts` file

Yes, there are plans for an imba course on scrimba! It is almost comical, but scrimba was originally created with the sole purpose of teaching people Imba. Here we are, 4 years later, finally preparing to make a course :D

There is built-in type-checking, but currently only via the tooling. It integrates with TS as a language service plugin ( https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Writing-a-Langu... ) so you get great warni

Sure, you can apply tailwind classes like `<div.w-32.h-32.rounded-full>` etc, but I'd definitely recommend using the built in styling as it is much more powerful (value interpolation, flexible modifiers etc).

by somebee 5y ago
You can definitely use 'just the language' part. I'm using it daily for scripting, and we've written a lot of apis and libraries at Scrimba that does not utilize any of the framework-ish features of the language. But to

Tbh, var is actually deprecated since v1, so any mention of var in the docs is a mistake. Are there any other languages using 'con' for constants?
28.
by somebee 5y ago
No, not right now. The current version of tags is relatively tightly coupled with the DOM for maximum performance. It should be possible to create a bridge like react-native but it hasn't been an area of focus thus far!
