I don't think that's true, mainly because if it were true it would have happened a long time ago. We will never settle on one version of a thing (let it be messaging, recipes, notes, image galleries, etc...). New variants emerge over time, the only thing AI does is accelerate this.

I didn't make those threads, so the title choices were mine. I'll do a proper Show HN with 1.0 sometime, maybe with can switch it with that then.

    component Main {
      fun render : Html {
        

          if true {
            
"Hello World!"
          } else {
            
"False"
          }
        
      }
    }

Looking at the samples, it seems Ripple is going the same direction as Mint:

- explicit component definitions

- inlined control flow in HTML tags

- component based styling

- explicit white space handling for element content

- syntax for setting references

I'm not sure why they based it on TypeScript instead of creating a new language completely, since there are a lot of new syntax added (and they have their own extension as well).

If you are looking for something similar, give Mint a try, it has a lot more features, and I'm looking to release 1.0 in the near future.

I'll try to add Marko to the feature comparison page soon: https://mint-lang.com/feature-matrix

- A new version of this dependency is published

- A CI somewhere of another NPM package uses this new version dependency in a build, which trigger propagation by creating a new modified version of this dependency?

- And so on...

Am I getting this right?

2. CSS definitions without interpolation compile down to static CSS while the ones with interpolation compile down to CSS variables which are set on the element where the style is assigned. This also allows for passig arguments to styles [0].

CSS nesting is supported and the interpolation doesn't conflict with the id selectors because interpolation is not supported in selectors.

1. There is HTML (tags) with, but without interpolation {...} you can put string literals, variables and everything that type checks as HTML children.

2. There is CSS but only in style blocks where you can interpolate any expression you need and put in if and case expressions too.

3. There is the normal Mint code you write the logic in (this would be the JavaScript in other languages).

Here is an example which have all three: https://mint-lang.com/examples/7guis/flight-booker

The challenge was to make it seamless enough that so it doesn't look like that we tried to mash languages up, but to make them form a different language that is consistent and simple at the same time.

I can't fathom why we can't have a modern car with analog displays and switches in the cockpit.

I own a 25 years old car which only has a digital radio (removeable!) and that's it, perfectly enough.
