I'm biased, but Stricli really is a great choice if you're in the market for a TypeScript-y CLI framework.

I've been experimenting with having `ts-blank-space` use the (unstable) TypeScript-go JS API. At first it was ~60% slower than using the TS 6 API, but with a bit of investigation, a bug fix, and a small refactor to use different API calls it is now ~24% faster! Draft PR: github.com/bloomberg/ts...
This is seriously cool stuff, no more JS to OOO stream, in chrome 150! (the script in there is the SW registration)
Barry Pollard@tunetheweb.com · last mo.The first part of Declarative Partial Updates (`<template for>` out-of-order HTML) is now available, unflagged, in Chrome 150!! developer.chrome.com/release-note... The second part (the new JS setting APIs, include the streaming ones) we're still working on the spec side, but maybe for Chrome 152?
Bloomberg uses a lot of C++ & contributes to the standard as well as various industry conferences and libraries. I’m looking for an experienced engineer to join a distributed systems team in New York working on our core Deployment Infrastructure for the Bloomberg Terminal 🗽 🧵

I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026. ngrok.com/blog/quantiz...

Node.js@nodejs.org · 4mo agoCan a hash be both HashDoS resistant *and* quickly reversible? That's the puzzle we had to tackle in V8 for the March 2026 Node.js security release. For details, check out our blog post (with the math for the curious!). For a quick overview, 🧵 below nodejs.org/en/blog/vuln...

ECMAScript excitement 😉 This week in NY @tc39.es advanced these proposals 🎉 4⃣ Intl Era/Month Code 4⃣ Temporal 3⃣ Import Text 2⃣.7⃣ Error Stack Accessor 2⃣.7⃣ Iterator Includes 2⃣ Intl Unit Protocol 2⃣ Thenable Curtailment 1⃣ Error Code Property 🗑️ Dynamic Import Host Adjustment
Temporal is now Stage 4 at TC39 🎂🎂🎂 Thanks to all the other champions of JavaScript's new date-time API. It has been a wild ride over many years! I wrote a blog post explaining how we got here 📜 bloomberg.github.io/js-blog/post...
![Code example showing the usage of Temporal.ZoneddateTime
```js
// London DST starts: 2026-03-29 01:00 -> 02:00
const zdt = Temporal.ZonedDateTime.from(
"2026-03-29T00:30:00+00:00[Europe/London]",
);
console.log(zdt.toString());
// → "2026-03-29T00:30:00+00:00[Europe/London]"
const plus1h = zdt.add({ hours: 1 });
console.log(plus1h.toString());
// "2026-03-29T02:30:00+01:00[Europe/London]" (01:30 doesn't exist)

Source maps are a vital part of modern web development, but the lack of a standard made it impossible for us to add new features or improve the debugging experience. This is the story of how we standardized source maps and how we continue to ship features through standards 📜 🧵

{
"version": 3, // Always the integer 3
"file": "out.js", // Optional: name of the generated file
"sourceRoot": "", // Optional: prefix prepended to each entry in "sources"
"sources": ["foo.js", "bar.js"], // Required: list of original source URLs/paths (or null)
"sourcesContent": [null, null], // Optional: inlined source text, aligned with "sources"
"names": ["src", "maps"], // Optional: symbol names referenced by "mappings"

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!
