ECMAScript Euphoria! 🎉 We don't always post when a single proposal advances, but when we do, it's Temporal -> Stage 4. Just days shy of 9 years from Stage 1, a herculean effort on the part of many champions, delegates, invited experts, and contributors, past and present. Thank you all! 🙌

Hmm... why doesn't `--erasableSyntaxOnly` in @typescriptlang.org not show an error on decorators? 🤔 It passes typechecking with this flag, but Node.js doesn't run it ("invalid token" error)

If I create a simple loader that just console.logs the source code, and I import a `.ts` file using the @nodejs.org support for it, I get the TS code and not the transpiled code. This means that loaders that analyze the source code will now need to understand TS.

If a package is used only in `import type`, should that package be in `dependencies` or `devDependencies`. It feels wrong for it to be in `dependencies` because the JS runtime doesn't see it, but it MUST be in `dependencies` because `.d.ts` files generated by the package refer to it. 😢

This is the template, Democrats.

Interesting how the browser is now a valid place to run frontend tooling, thanks to tools like @stackblitz.com and @codesandbox.io

Rolldown's wasm build just got significantly faster in browsers thanks to @broooooklyn.bsky.social! One challenge of native bundlers is that they have to ship and run as wasm in browser environments. Some bundlers like rspack doesn't even support this due to the complexity it involves.

If you ignore the clickbait-y title, this post is a surprisingly good assesment of the problems with microservices. And I am a developer who (still) firmly believes microservices are the way to go. venturebeat.com/data-infrast...

Why microservices might be finished as monoliths return with a vengeance

Microservices architecture may look appealing, but transitioning from a monolith is challenging and can increase system complexity.

could we do something like `at.domain.tld` e.g. `at.runspired.com` or even `@runspired.com` so that my website is still my website but there's a shorthand that redirects?

Look at this post - it has a *link* in it! How is that possible? Digging a bit, it seems that the 🦋 app has support for rich text (docs.bsky.app/docs/advance...), so I'm guessing that while the 🦋 client doesn't support writing it, the Ouranos client below does, and the 🦋 client shows it.

The main Ouranos build now supports third-party data types (called Lexicons in #atproto) -- Frontpage links, LinkAt linktree-like pages, and WhtWnd blogs. @smokesignal.events is on deck after some Lexicon fixes. Just the beginning of seeing what apps can evolve here.

@nx.dev - why oh why does remote caching only work in CI, and I have to `export CI=1` to make it work locally? This feels _very_ opinionated, from a tool that in general is not. A CLI argument or `nx.json` option would have been better, as I would really love to use remote caching on dev machines.

Isn't it funny how many people dogged on component fetching because it created waterfalls that are now hailing RSCs because they enable... component fetching, albeit on the server. It removes one side of a round trip for a fetch, but a waterfall is a waterfall and you know what they say...

And they never tell you what it *really* does.

oh wow you have a SaaS? Let me guess what your website says - "what used to take months and does it in minutes" - "scales effortlessly" - "lets you focus on business logic and leave the hard bits to us" - “unlocks the potential of your team” - “powerful yet easy to use” /1

OMG! Google Slides can now show speaker notes in a separate window ***automatically***! (Without me needing to move windows from screen to screen in an awkward way at the start of the presentation) Too bad I got so used to not having speaker notes, that I don't need them anymore. 😁

Isn't it infuriaritingly confusing, that if you want to have a number `num` be *at most* 10, then you have to write const finalNum = Math.min(num, 10) My intuition is shouting at me "Math.max! Math.max!", and I have to shut it up and accept that "at most" mean "Math.min". 🤷‍♂️

In a nice turn of events, a week after I learned about this API I found a use for it at work. Thank you @ambarvm.bsky.social for this piece of info. 🙏 (and did I lose `p-mutex`? Nope - I used it to fake this API when running Vitest tests 😁)
