Hello wasm-pack 8 years ago

Let me see. A lazy developer that only knows Ruby compiles the entire Ruby interpreter into WASM just to run Ruby. Then the user clicks a button that does an API fetch and the whole browser freezes while it waits for the response. . . . Yeah not happening. WASM was built and meant for high performance low level languages, there is no way in Ruby and Python will make the cut.

Hello wasm-pack 8 years ago

Python and Ruby will never compile to WASM since they would need to have the entire interpreter compiled with it and it would be extremely slow and bloated experience. Not to mention those languages do not have very good support for async operations and the lack of closures make it a terrible idea for the web.

honestly, who in their right mind would use the new Angular it's objectively worse in every area. In my experience only Angular development is maintaining Legacy code. Picking the new Angular would be insane it's slow, buggier, less flexible and more expensive to develop and find talent to build it's truly a lose-lose (unless you are a Angular team consultant that is)

Whoa, I was just looking at some examples of this library and it seriously looks just like JS, only give away is the patten matching(which is a feature I wish JS had)

This is awesome! Thank you for writing this Buzzword/Jargon free tutorial it's so much more helpful to have things explained in terms of concepts the reader already knows.

Good stuff!

Personally I have learned that TDD and unit tests are only useful in OOP settings that have side effects and have mutated state overtime. But with a more FP approach all you need to do is verify the feature works since you know that state can't change the output.

I kind of also feel that TDD has a kind of cult like following, especially with the Rails crowd
