Yesterday at TPAC I publicized my draft proposal for adding a declarative templating API to the DOM.
github.com/justinfagnan...
The repo has:
📖 Explainers for the templating API and DOM scheduler API
🏗️ Full prototype implementations
⚗️ a JSX transform
⚛️ a mini React-like framework

A teacher I knew once quipped, "I can explain this to you, but I can't understand this for you."
I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

I've wondered about the economics of alchemy, kind of like how I wonder about the economics of the island of sodor in thomas the tank engine.
Anyway, this is well written

Been digging into reactivity- coarse-grained, fine-grained, signals-based, closure-based, notification-based.... and this article by @jakelazaroff.com is fantastic. Cuts to the heart of why React is.... weird 😅

Were React Hooks a Mistake? | jakelazaroff.com
People like signals because signal-based components are far more similar to class components than to function components with hooks.

Crank is a framework I want to use very soon. Utilizing (async) generators as a first-class component primitive is brilliant.

The Just JavaScript framework. Crank is a JavaScript / TypeScript library where you write components with functions, promises and generators.

The administrations rational integrity is on par with a bunch of old drunk dudes at a bar saying, "You know what we should do?..."
Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

I get it compiled and running, but with issues when I enter a level.
I want to be able to just grab a working compiled version

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
