VIA is Chromium-only because of WebHID which, last I checked, isn't even on the standards track. I don't blame Mozilla for that. The API is useful but I don't want Firefox just implementing whatever Google decides to try to railroad into web standards.
I'm with you on Mozilla removing the ability to install PWAs on desktop though. Strange that they'd ditch it on desktop but not mobile.
I've been teaching web dev for ~10 years, I learned early on that with JavaScript, the programming fundamentals need to be introduced in bits and pieces. The class hits a wall otherwise. As much as I would like to focus on programming fundamentals first, a class of adults needs to know and get hands-on experience with the why asap to keep them engaged. So I introduce some DOM basics early like the author outlined (except for the last two items).
It also really depends on the profile of the students themselves. I teach at a coding bootcamp now where we also have short courses on just front end web development. The bootcampers are typically more amenable to a front-heavy, bottom-up, fundamentals-first approach. The short-course students need more hand-holding.
Something like Next.js for JavaScript would be better. Express is too bare-bones for OP's criteria. It's bring your own batteries. Just trying to choose from all the batteries available is a full-time job.
As for Ars, they used to have a journo that would publish 10+ page reviews of the latest Mac OS release, and the dude had an extensive knowledge of Apple and Apple products.
John Siracusa. He left Ars ~5 years ago, I think. Even after I switched away from OS X, I would still read his reviews.
I use Auto Tab Discard if anyone is looking for something similar for Firefox.
Isn't TypeScript committed to implementing all stable ECMAScript features?
It being a superset with TypeScript-only features on top of ECMAScript, wouldn't the "aggressive changes" you complain about be worse?
After the big dump of new features in ES2015, I don't find the pace of planned updates to the language aggressive at all. JavaScript is still playing catch up.
People will complain if they don't add features. When they do add new features, people complain that they're "bloating" the language or moving too fast. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
The JS ecosystem is a different matter.
Heh, good spot. It uses jQuery and jQuery UI.
What do you think would be a better title? I read "web apps" I think html, css, and js. I wasn't expecting (nor would I want to) to ship Python to the browser.
That's a pretty big difference though.
I'm three-fourths into the tutorial and I have yet to see a need to write html, css, and js.

Arrogant?
OP's link covers more topics but I prefer Steve Yegge's emergency elisp for quick and dirty things.

I wouldn't want to be around you when you're actually worked up.
I found it both funny and useful. But I can see where you're coming from. If I wanted something fucking accurate that goes into greater fucking detail than 1-2 mostly tongue-in-cheek sentences I'd go to the fucking source.
Putting this line in my uBlock Origin filters helped a lot:
||images-amazon.com$object,domain=amazon.comThere are many styles of dresses with multiple levels of formality. A sundress, for example, is in no way equivalent to a suit.
Themes range from $0 to $30. No excuse for lifting a design wholesale.
This fork[0] adds delegation.
It's funny. If you transplant ziles88's comment to when Flight was released two years ago, it would be just as appropriate as it is today.
The JS framework landscape is insane (has been for at least 2 years).
I wouldn't be surprised if HTML emails convert better (not for the HN crowd, obviously).
Most newsletters I subscribe to still use multipart, thankfully. If I'm not mistaken, Campaign Monitor and Mailchimp require you to have a plain text version for your campaigns.
We default to Make too since we're all (all two of us) running a *nix OS. I'm currently sub-contracting for an agency with devs all running Windows so I'm hoping `npm run` works well enough. If I had it my way I'd just tell them to install MinGW but they might take that as me telling them to go fuck themselves.
Search. Not sure how recent it is but it's great.
Changing the DevTools theme changes the whole browser's theme too.
Both Firefox and Chrome allow you to "blackbox" js files of your choice.

Didn't mean to imply otherwise. I've learned quite a bit just reading his code. He has a ton of projects and I worry that he's spread himself too thin. I assumed this project had been abandoned.
Sorry TJ, didn't mean to sound like a dick.
Not surprising given who the author is.
Don't forget ES6 fat arrows! That and right-dockable dev tools excites me more than they probably should.
