New comment by jbergstroem in "Elo – A data expression language which compiles to JavaScript, Ruby, and SQL"

jbergstroem — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 11:59:13 +0000

I coincidentally worked on something similar but I kept closer to the SQL standard. It grew out of business cases where you don't have strongly typed data to act on.

I more or less adopted the syntax from dumbql (https://github.com/tomakado/dumbql) and started off with a peg parser using ohm.js. As I started benchmarking I realized how slow it was and started looking for "fast paths" using regex. I ultimately resorted to a recursive descent parser similar to Elo. At that stage I already had a lot of tests and api in place, so I was able to get a lot of help from Claude.

Another (more complete? maintenance, security checks) solution is to allow renovatebot handle this for you. Enable this preset: https://docs.renovatebot.com/presets-helpers/#helperspingith...

..and in the next update cycle, you will see all actions be pinned like this:

I think this position is also one of the reasons it gained attention. Batteries included is a popular and chosen route for many.

Setting up typescript can be hard. Same goes for webpack, s3, postgres, jest and more. I also find the simplified file and stream access quite interesting.

Lets wait and see how a distributed deployment provider turns out.

jbergstroem — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 21:30:08 +0000

I've been a beta tester from very early on. I came for the performance but stayed for the stability. I've only had a rare few crashes and all but one was a duplicate in the bug tracker.

I thought I needed search but as Mitchell put it, not a 1.0 feature. Ripgrep was always the answer.

Very happy to share the ghostty experience with the world!

Have you considered https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq for the queue bit?

Topsort | Software engineer | Full-time | Remote

Topsort (topsort.com) is a leading retail media solution, enabling marketplaces and retailers to build out their own ad business with a strong emphasis on privacy - no third party cookies required.

We are a global, remote first company with diverse backgrounds and need to grow the engineering team in most areas but currently have a focus in finding engineers with experience in component and design systems (shadcn, aria, storybook, ..), react and don't mind the occasional dive into other areas and other programming languages.

You are a good fit if: you've built and implemented design systems with reusable components in React, you are obsessed about performant frontends, you're comfortable in working with Next.js (both pages and app router), you are proactive and like to take ownership, you have worked in full stack environments but have a specialization in frontend.

Our stack: Golang, Python, Typescript (Node.js, Bun), Rust, Postgres, Kafka, Snowflake, Clickhouse, Aws, ..

Feel free to send your CV/github/work examples (I'm the tech lead at Topsort) if you think this is for you! johan at topsort dot com.

jbergstroem — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 15:10:55 +0000

When these types of conversations come up, I prefer the phrase “optimize for the receiver” - thinking on how to best be understood versus what is easiest/most convenient for the sender (in the hello case: requiring someone’s attention).

The Webkit project would love this. Can't help but feel that half the reason they spent all the extra effort with subversion was user-friendly commit revisions.
