@ilyabo @bububnik I was going to suggest ayvri but they’re shutting down ayvri.com/pages/about - might be a nice time to enter the space Ilya :)

@mde I knew you felt this way about TS even though we’ve never talked about it :)

100 percent, putting the "Java" in "JavaScript."

Typescript is the new Java. If that makes you happy, it’s cause it’s true. If that makes you angry, it’s cause it’s true.

@TheEconomist You messed up here, make it right and apologize, or you will lose another subscriber. The fact you also don’t have legal counsel warning that this isn’t ok is also very worrying.

We now know this stunning shot is by Iryna Rybakova, a press officer with Ukraine’s 93rd Mechanised Brigade. It was tweeted by the Ministry of Defence, so it could be seen worldwide. We reproduced it under Twitter’s terms and credited the MoD in our story: economist.com/leaders/2022/0…

Incompetence and brutality by Russian forces in Ukraine have exposed deep flaws at home. For Vladimir Putin, this is a crushing setback. Our cover this week econ.st/3LrbZ5p

@daleharvey I don’t think it’s that bad, focus is a little soft, but seems like a decent amount of starlight. Are you doing expose to the right? Seems like you could push the levels to really get the milky way to punch, but I kinda like your more subtle approach.

@peterbraden 0x6a6a7061 didn’t feel like an upgrade from making people type all the freaking vowels for my username

@AdobeCare The app has stalled trying to import the catalogue this time. Clearly there is some image that is corrupting the preview generation, and stalling the app. Are there logs?
English
@peterbraden Hi Peter, thanks for the details. Sorry for sounding repetitive. Could you please try to create a new test catalog as suggested before and then go to File > Import from another catalog and merge the catalogs following this: bityl.co/BH31? We hope this helps. Thanks!^SK

@giltayar Nonetheless, I appreciate you engaging with me on this. I understand your perspective more from this, even if I still disagree with it.
English
@giltayar JS has 2 future paths, either it ages gracefully like C, and remains around forever, or it grows into a monster that is so big and history laden that people actively shun it. (It already had a short period like this). I fear this
proposal takes it down the path to monsterhood.

By now, some of you may have heard about the new proposal to be suggested to the TC39 committee. This innocent sounding title is for a proposal that suggests adding some level of typing to the JavaScript language.

English
@giltayar For a long time the rationale was that JS was the only web runtime, so it needed to cater to new audiences, but webasm and compile-to-js improvements have taken that reasoning away. Why now do we need js to expand it’s scope?
English
@giltayar I mean, I’d like to understand your position more, why is js “stagnation” a bad thing, and typescript taking mindshare not ok? at a certain point, isn’t a language mature, and thus can leave the new features to younger ones?
English
@giltayar What precise is the *risk* of not doing it? Worst case scenario? I can’t see any downsides to the status quo.
English
@peterbraden I agree. It's a tradeoff, and there is risk. But I think the risk of NOT doing it is greater:

Gil Tayar@giltayar
Why this proposal? Well, more and more developers are using TypeScript to write their code. This, for me, is a risk to the harmony of the language. There is growing a rift between the code written by developers and the JavaScript spec. And we should mend this rift.
English
@AdobeCare I should also mention, that the app crashes when attempting to quit afterwards. After attempting to relaunch, it hangs until a full system restart. This also occurred with the new catalogue.
English
@AdobeCare I’m afraid this didn’t help. I have the same problem.
English
@giltayar FWIW I am strongly against the proposal as it stands. The benefits, as opposed to letting compile-to-js languages be the de facto typing solution, seem minimal, and in exchange we get an ambiguous syntax and less simplicity.
English
@giltayar Hardcoding undefined behavior into the specification for a language is incredibly dangerous, especially when it’s interspersed with every statement. This proposal makes me worry for the future of javascript, and I don’t feel like the users of js will get enough input here.
