<p>> > I don't understand how none of the alternatives really embrace WinterTC<p>> You provide handlers that fulfil requests from the system.<p>As I said previously, though I wish they were, such handlers are not part of WinterTC.<p>And then again, how those handlers are registered is also not part of WinterTC, which I also wish it were.<p>> APIs like that leak implementation details<p>How?<p>Almost all runtimes, like Bunny Edge Scripting, Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, etc. use the same basic signature for the handler:<p>(request: Request) => Promise<Response><p>Only how you register said handler is, unfortunately, different for each runtime.</p>

<p>AFAIC, WinterTC doesn't specify how to start an HTTP server. Their minimum common API requires, among other things, that the Request and Response interfaces from the fetch specification are present. Unfortunately, it does not specify any sort of serve function.</p>

<p>> Is there still a real-world use case for XHTML<p>If I need the markup of a page to not contain any structural errors, I often use XHTML for testing at least because, though it's a little more verbose, if there's a nesting error, for example, the browser will flat out refuse to render it and show some sort of stacktrace error page instead. So it's quite a good built-in "tool" for checking that your markup is clean.<p>With HTML, everything goes and the browser will happily render broken markup, which is probably the correct default for the web as a whole. After all, you surely don't want a page like Wikipedia to show an error message to its users because a developer forgot to close a tag somewhere.</p>

<p>Switching to Deno might help. It's sandboxed by default and offers granular escape hatches. So if a script needs access to a specific environment variable or read or write specific files, it's simple to configure that only those accesses are allowed.</p>

<p>> My favorite testing framework, AVA, still isn’t supported.<p>Have you checked recently? The docs (<a href="https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/testing/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/testing/</a>) specifically mention AVA as being supported. Then again, I'd assume that most devs using Deno just use the built-in `deno test` instead of a third-party testing framework.<p>> The one area of Node compatibility that I want the most is support for ESLint configs in the Deno linter.<p>Again, have you checked recently? According to the docs this is supported: "Deno's built-in linter, `deno lint`, supports recommended set of rules from ESLint to provide comprehensive feedback on your code. (...) You can specify custom rules, plugins, and settings to tailor the linting process to your needs." (<a href="https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/linting_and_formatting/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/linting_and_forma...</a>)<p>I've been using Deno for 6 years now. And I'm actually quite happy that most Deno projects don't have a custom testing and linting setup.</p>

<p>There is still a wealth tax in Germany which is, in fact, enshrined in its constitution. However, the tax has not been collected since 1997 due to legal issues regarding its calculation. Back then, the constitutional court decided that wealth in the form of properties would have to be taxed more. However, instead of adjusting the calculation, politics instead decided to suspend collecting the tax. Ever since, there have been multiple political initiatives aimed at restarting the collection of the tax, none successful so far, despite a large majority of Germans (70+%) being in favor of collecting the wealth tax.</p>

<p>Lately, the user experience has gotten much worse for Windows users: In July they removed the ability to download content for offline viewing. So everyone who wants to watch content while travelling, for example, has no other option but to use a competitor like Prime Video.<p>I would also like to point out that those "savings on infrastructure costs" seemingly do not benefit their users: They have repeatedly increased prices over the past few years.<p>I'm also unsure whether they are using their competitive advantage properly. Anecdotally, it used to be that almost everyone I knew was only streaming on Netflix. These days, the streaming services that people use seem much more diverse.</p>
