React’s compiler is now in beta and Meta has been reporting solid wins[1]. Yet js-fw-benchmark results have barely budged[2]. I’m sure the React-is-slow-legacy-tech crowd will read this as it chasing the wrong thing.
My take is we need more use-case appropriate benchmarks (no shade against JFB)

I see posts with hundreds of retoots with single digit likes, seems implausible?!

The core thesis of my new programming environment is once again: we can do better than text

Ironically enough I still dumped its AST (for lack of a better word) as pretty printed JSON. I could not handle that irony, so here's my shot at beating pretty JSON for looking at nested data structures

I like to make fun of Python for having the worst battery-included scope creep, but schema parsing is sth that I'd like to scope creep into every single lang. Ridiculous to go without!

Neat schema validation with type inference you got there, would be a shame if someone would try to use it for a circular schema definition:(

TIL Prisma does not support case insensitive orderBy

Nor does it support any of the following escape hatches:

- SQL expressions in the orderBy clause (raw is all or nothing)
- generated columns, one could use for a case insensitive derived value

Meh!

I do like colocating styles in a more CSS-natural way. Tailwind might've been prevented with sth so straightforward.

Still overall, I think Vue's design is flawed. Part of React's wisdom is hidden in JSX and allowing you to "just use standard JS data flow and functions". Vue gives you a lexicon of special syntax and JS functionality replicas. No thunks.
