After the two kids the games disappeared and it just became a normal party where we could talk and such and a playdate for the our and the other parents kids.

We will probably do it again when we settle into a new home at least I hope.

I never needed to visit since I could use Wise for banking.

The only thing is that surprised me was the tax rate, when I created my Company the advertised rate was 20/80 but in reality it was ~25/75 and it increased since.

But as it turns out it's a great abstraction worth using for the right things (not every part of the web) and one of those are Single Page Applications.

A lot of comments here are about people linking JSX instead of React and that's a good abstraction too. In Mint (https://mint-lang.com/) I'm trying to create a language for SPAs and having HTML syntax helps.

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.
