This is hilarious. A #Google engineer invented #zx to make command line scripting easier with #NodeJS, because at a certain point #shell scripts get too complicated and you need a Real #Programming Language.
This is exactly #Perl’s use case from thirty-six years ago. But the kids want #JavaScript everywhere and would rather it take more work to convert their ascended #Bash scripts to a vastly different syntax.
🇬🇧 I have tried PHP. I find this programming language more embedding in html. They completely get so much. I can code in live html. 🤯
Hence my question, why continue to code in JavaScript if php can do the same things?🔴😅⚠️
🇨🇵 J'ai essayé PHP. Je trouve ce langage de programmation plus incorporant dans le html. Ils se complètement tellement. Je peux coder dans le html en direct. 🤯
D'où ma question, pourquoi continuer à coder en JavaScript si php peut faire les même choses ?🔴😅⚠️
A worthwhile experiment, absolutely, but I can’t see myself ever using this for a serious production application. I hope we keep iterating on this before settling for a non-turing complete, directive-driven language that gives Angular 1.0 PTSD flashbacks
Folks who do #aspnetcore development with a #javascript frontend framework (#vuejs, #angular, #react), is your frontend code part of the #dotnet solution, or have you split the backend and frontend into separate isolated folders?
I have thoughts, but would love to hear what your thoughts are. Boosts are appreciated.
If there was an #HTML element that changes it's content when users interact with other elements on the page, what name would it have?
PLEASE NOTE: I am not suggesting that this element needs to exist; I am only asking what it would be called. I'm building a CustomElement, I just want it to have a name that makes sense.
Vote and suggest others in replies. Please boost for reach!
The more I'm thinking about it, the more I consider it.
I want to add a map for my bicycle rides, but I can't find any good PHP maps. The PHP versions of Leaflet on GitHub are no good. They don't work at all. They just gives you errors like "can't load class" or something like that.
So even if I am against it only to challenge myself, I consider using Leaflet in JS for airikr.me/biking.
Or do you have any solution in PHP that works out of the box?
Friends, now that people are aggregating together, which conferences should I keep an eye on for submissions? My content goes beyond databases fundamentals, language agnostic. I can cover automation, schema tracking, observability, etc.
"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."
I may bitch and gripe a bit about the insane learning curve of programming languages like #haskell... but I cut my teeth on #javascript and #php : I've seen worse. Of all the languages I've used, my favorite by far is #python, but only for processing. What's yours, and why?
I've been #programming for 14 years now, have been using #PHP, #JavaScript, #ColdFusion, #Ruby, and whatnot, but holy cow, when reading the following chapter, I've literally been yelling "what the heck" at every second paragraph:
I mean, #PonyLang really tries to explain everything in depth, and I appreciate the effort, but while it works fine in earlier chapters, it confuses the heck out of me in this at length.
I love #javascript as a language, but I've lost love for the churn, the long build pipelines, frameworks that do the same thing, but better.
Getting instant feedback was what made code magical for me. JS used to have that magic. I could just type code in the browser. Now, with tooling, with build pipelines… it all feels like how people complained about compiler errors: a long slog.
Ironic that it's a compiled lang that brings back the magic.
Now that Safari 17.4 is available, what other new web technology — HTML, CSS, JS, Web API, media support, etc — would you like to see supported in Safari next?
What’s most needed?
What will you use it for?
Or how will it help your team serve your users?
Tell me a story…
JavaScript in a nutshell: “Remember all those for /while loops you learned? Lol. Forget those. We are iterating with pure, immutable functions, baby. Why loop when you can map(), filter(), and slice()? #javascript#humor#programming
It will be an exciting problem for salespeople to explain why the #dotnet half of the team has to pay for VS Code while the #JavaScript side doesn’t have to pay for VS Code.
I could see a decision maker thinking, “Well, if JavaScript and other platforms are free, maybe we should stop using this expensive .NET thing”.
So, I wanted to do a client-site embed of my #Mastodon#RSS feed via #XSLT into a page of my website, without using #JavaScript, but I'm having serious doubts that this is possible at all … anybody had any luck with this? #askFedi#fediHelp
TIL "npm" officially stands for "npm is not an acronym" (twitter.com)
Why not "NINAA"? Because then it would be an acronym.
KES running everywhere but iOS
Basically the title. I have KES running on MacBook generic windows laptop Firefox and safari, but I cannot get it running on my iPhone....
