This isn’t true, there are other features that “emit code”, that includes: namespaces, decorators and some cases even async / await (when targeting ES5 or ES6).

Here’s a good example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47363996/why-does-an-enum-transpile-into-a-function

fair enough :D but it does happen and there are reasons for that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47363996/why-does-an-enum-transpile-into-a-function

Its really not, have you noticed how an enum is transpiled? you end up with a function… a lot of other things follow the same pattern.

It does, the “compiler” adds a bunch of extra garbage for extra safety that really does have an impact.

I guess we can take the overhead of rust considering all the advantages. Go however… can’t even.

The problem with compiled JS is that it doesn’t last long. Any piece of software written in the popular frameworks will probably not compile in 5 years because xyz dependency. There might be ways around it, but all annoying and not good. Some type of software really needs more assurances that “might compile in 5 years” because some people can’t afford to upgrade to the latest framework down the path due to size or simply lack of time.

📦 Zero Dependencies - Pure JavaScript, no build step required

This is really the best part. However the example does run a npm run build…

I would be great to have something that can be imported in a script tag like jquery and not something that requires npm and compilarion.

I don’t really get this type of “media” bullshit articles. Yes, Windows is becoming progressively worse with more annoyances but you also have more simple to use tools than ever to disable those annoyances in bulk.

For the average user is far simpler to just run W10 Privacy, CTT or some other tool to disable all the annoying Windows features than it is to move to Linux and face all the major pain points people usually have around software compatibility and missing xyz very specific that isn’t really the same thing under Linux.

There you go, fixed the Windows problem for you in a few clicks, no need to download an entire new OS and complain afterwards.

Performance optimization is hard because it’s fundamentally a brute-force task, and there’s nothing you can do about it

There is, “common sense” seems to accelerate that bruteforce work. Also some developers seem to be better at performance bruteforce than others, some enjoy it, others hate it.

Simplicity also plays a very important role here, most software is built by adding more features and at some point you may be able to simplify things a lot and make run a lot faster if you just rewriting it with all the use cases in mind.

Experience? Data loss, it’s the most unreliable thing and prone to failure, even long file names or paths seems to break it and you’ll lose data without warning.

The price lol yet another scam. Like the first version.

So… it does what all other apps do. I’m not saying I like it but doesn’t seem that abusive.

Can you elaborate?

I’ve the exact same problem. Can’t post anything new, but comments work.

Until you find they’re using and old version of macOS… or Windows 8. 😂

I love how journalism is all garbage, even the one around technology. It just took a bunch of declarations and suddenly Meta/FB is the target to avoid and cancel. As if there weren’t many more and much better reasons to NOT use those platforms than this simple and expected political realignment.

Trust me, you’ll code faster and your CSS will be way more readable.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I was reading about PostCSS the other day, but still too lazy to change my environment. To be fair I only need the nesting polyfill and some kind of minifier, the rest I can live with native stuff.
