I was pleasantly surprised with how well Copilot picked it up. Civet doesn't have that many truly new language features, most of them are from existing languages and used in a similar way. Copilot is really good at matching what you are doing near the completion so I was impressed with how well it did with a new language.

The built in browser debugger is incredibly good. As long as the transpilation is simple and matches JS semantics you can still use the debugger. I haven't seen good debugging tools when using languages more distant from JS but I'd love to know if they've become viable.

The GWT approach has its own downsides as well.

Something interesting I've found while designing Civet is that TypeScript actually mitigates in a lot of the downsides of CoffeeScript.

Types help quite a bit with implicit returns so you don't accidentally return an iteration results array from a void function.

They also help reduce the downsides of terse syntax, just hover over things in the IDE and see what they are. Missed a step in a pipeline? The IDE will warn you if there's a mismatch.

This is pretty neat but I wonder how it compares to Arc...

That's why I created https://civet.dev as a personal slight against chaptrick.

Civet[1] is a similar idea for a programming language based off of TypeScript and 99% ES compatibility.

It seems to make sense with the example. The `tag` keyword defines a tag that is used the same as HTML tags to create an element.

    tag Box
 css pos:relative
 x = 0
 y = 0
   "box"

    tag app
 
   'One'

Brandon Buckingham is a modern day Hunter S. Thompson. There are probably hundreds of other YouTubers doing similar things but we haven't heard about them yet because they are at the beginning of their career and Hunter is past the end.
