This is for tooling.

Node.js has been extraordinarily useful for building build tools. We're outgrowing it's capacity and rightfully moving to a compiled language. Also faster tooling is essential for establishing a high quality feedback loop for AI agents

It's not a good piece of software. Breaks in many places

What would make this super easy to adopt?

A simple page which shows what native components are available with/without the need for polyfills for a given browserslist config

The diagrams generated are arbitrary and make no sense. This needs improvements

My shower is theory is that there are infinite universes getting created all the time and we can never know about it because we're restricted in this universe. I love having these talks with my daughter.

Congratulations on the launch!

Have you considered any sort of templating like htm or JSX? Because it's a bit harder to read and I believe to work in a team it would be much simpler if there was a template syntax.

This is just beautiful artistry. I absolutely love it! Only thing missing is the click/clack sounds on those buttons

I have a naive question here.

Could this have been avoided if they had used Rust? Or is this a bug that can happen even in Rust code too?

Yet they've had astounding success and is the most widely used operating system. Maybe usability and ease of access are far more important than beautiful design

Beaver dams are like step dams. The bad ones people talk about are the huge dams which alter the environment drastically often creating artificial lakes.

Beaver dams on the other hand slow down water flow to some extent and alter the direction of water flow slightly. These smaller natural dams are so good for little species to thrive.

Have y'all considered something like vscode's extension experience in sublime. The current one is not really intuitive or easier to setup

possibly restarting the System

They are a company and they are still good. They changed their licensing model for v4 onwards. I have been using it for most of my note keeping and lite code editing tasks and its excellent as always. I think they can still get back to the old hype if they choose to use typescript for their plugin system. A lot of vscode plugins can be ported that way I hope
