Do you have your own dependency resolution algorithm? Can we have the most lightweight node_modules directory?

I curious, maybe AI learn too much code from human writed compilers. What if invent a fresh new language, and let AI write the compiler, if the compiler works well I think that is the true intelligent.

If he keeps boasting about world models but never go to deliver one that actually outperforms LLMs, then he's nothing more than an influencer.

Ask HN: In the era of AI, which language would you choose?

tcper — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 01:42:32 +0000

Factors to consider when choosing a language and tech stack for a project/engineering effort:

* Ecosystem maturity * Development speed * Learning curve * Recruitment difficulty * ....

With AI, since 90% percent of the code is not written craftly, So these factor maybe not exists anymore?

So how do you choose language now? Can we choose C++ or Rust purely based on cost/runtime execution speed considerations?

Obviously, based on its price, it was a commercially unsuccessful product. Really want to buy one, when I was a student.

I'm still using it.

If some AI answers I'm not sure or suspicious AI crafted it, I'll search it for cross validation.

Have a read about Servo, it is binding with SpiderMonkey as JS engine.

Is there some chance, that servo decomposed from SpiderMonkey? If it is not, I don't think anyone can tell difference between firefox and other browser use Servo.

New comment by tcper in "Now we have Image Cache uses IndexedDB"

tcper — Sun, 28 Jul 2024 04:42:55 +0000

IndexedDB do have ability to save blob data, don't see any package/lib using IndexedDB as the image cache.

So I write it, and published.

Pros:

* No localStorage 5Mb size limit

* Keep the cache as long as you want

* Better for some expensive action cache (download/alogrithm calculated)

Now we have Image Cache uses IndexedDB
