It seems to me this accounting is missing the significant financial contribution many companies make to open source by way of paying employees to contribute, either part time or full time. Many of the arguments here are premised on the idea

I'm really happy to see this. As fumbled as the launch was, I played it on PC and found the world and its characters to have more depth than I'd personally experienced in a video game before. What broke my heart was to feel viscer

Hey folks, I've been working with wycats and my colleague Chirag Patel on Starbeam for the last few months. We prefer to work in the open, but this repo is still a work in progress and is definitely not ready for public consumption, ot

When I joined LinkedIn 4 years ago, the JavaScript infrastructure was a mess. We had a tool called `just` that integrated with the existing Java infrastructure, including Node version and dependency management, but it was a bit of a hack th

It’s strange this article effectively pins the attack on Iran, but doesn’t mention Stuxnet/Olympic Games, a malware attack on Iran that destroyed nearly 1,000 of their centrifuges[1]. 1: https://www.washingtonpost.com/w

I was just in Medellín for JSConf Colombia a week ago. It was my first time in Colombia and I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I was blown away by how friendly and engaged the developers I met were. I can say unequivocally I have never h

For folks who want to play around with this, we've got an interactive playground at https://try.glimmerjs.com/ that lets you add components, templates and helper functions. In a nod to The Net, you can click the π symb

The process of getting content on to the web has historically been pretty daunting, and is IMO much easier now than the bad old days when a .com domain cost $99/year and hosting files involved figuring out how to use an FTP client. In

I don't think the binary AST proposal changes the accessibility status quo. In my mind, the best analogy is to gzip, Brotli, etc. If you had to have a complicated toolchain to produce gzipped output to get the performance boost, that w

Certainly not dead! One of the nice things about VS Code/Monaco is how easy they make it to embed the editor in the browser. With Glimmer, for example, I was able to hack together this playground with full intellisense over a weekend:

Yep, this is pretty spot on! At a high level, the Glimmer VM is built on top of two primitives: 1. References (as you describe, an interface implementation to provide the underlying value) 2. Tags, an interface that communicates "is it

The Glimmer runtime is under 30k, and we have not done much bundle optimization yet so hopefully this should go down a little bit even further. React Fiber is currently just over 70k, and that's just the reconciler, not the complete Re

This is because we recently added the ability to specify a blueprint as an npm package, and it hasn't made it out of canary channel yet. If you don't want to install canary Ember CLI, you can always just give it the longer git url

JSX vs. templates is a common debate, with popular JSX options like React and Preact and template-based options like Vue and Glimmer. The reality is that there are hard tradeoffs to both and anyone who tells you one is obviously superior to

A legitimate question! One thing people really love about Ember is that the process for going from nothing to a working app is very streamlined. Typically, this is not the case with smaller component libraries. Personally, I think there&#x2

I'm excited for this and eagerly look forward to adopting it in Ember as soon as it's mature, but I'm guessing this is still at least a few years out.

WebAssembly doesn't give you access to DOM APIs, so it's not like you could rewrite Angular in wasm, for example. Most load time/parse time discussions are in the context of web frameworks, but they're typically not able

LinkedIn has actually done a ton of work optimizing Ember for mobile devices, and they've got code splitting (what we call lazy engines) in production already: https://twitter.com/trentmwillis/status/796748896

I have to say, the work being done on Servo is really exciting—the first tectonic shift in browser engines to come along in years. pcwalton's talk about WebRender earlier this year[1] was one of those rare technical presentations that

I don't think it's fair to compare jspm and Yarn. jspm is an interesting project, but is tightly coupled with SystemJS. Telling everyone to rewrite their apps to use SystemJS and jspm is a huge lift. Yarn, on the other hand, has f

Yes, that's why I said it was a Ruby limitation, not a Bundler limitation.

by tomdale 10y ago
This is a huge leap forward for the JavaScript community—probably more than many people will realize right away. I loved Bundler's deterministic builds but chafed against the Ruby limitation of only having a single version of a depende
