I mentioned Vue SFCs a while back which scratched a similar itch for me.  Who knew that three languages in one file could feel so good?

Yeah! I was disturbed when I saw how angular did it back when I last worked with it (3 files!!! zomg!!! no thank you!!!) maybe it's closer to the vue approach now... web framework i had most expertise in was react, i really like their approach to dom + logic. but i saw like 4 different frameworks for applying CSS to components, and never really spent enough time with react outside of work to decide which one was the nicest.

Somehow I struggled more in Java in deciding when to use abstract classes vs interfaces, or even inheritance vs composition.  Too many options for me.

I really relate to this--TS gives you sooooooo much flexibility (arguably too much), but I think after 8 years I am finally narrowing in on my preferred approaches haha. It feels like a lifetime ago that I programmed in Java, but I mostly preferred inheritance. after i Becamed A Professional i started picking up more composition techniques though. i feel i regularly used some pretty wack features in java (anonymous classes is one that comes to mind)

I still haven't played with TS.  If I start a new JS project, I should give it a go.

TS is my fave if you couldnt tell... if you're already bundling (which if you're writing for the web, then you probably are) it might be pretty plug and play. and i think you can configure which compiler rules you care about the most. (i have a feeling you can't opt out of some of them or something, though!) i have found myself unable to perform at jobs where i inherited JS code, but i have spent almost 15 years working in strongly-typed languages

adorable and sweet and earnest!!!! lovely, lovely, cook! sounds like a lovely person too. i’ll have to ponder my pick in the next couple hours

oh i’ve never tried it, i will!

Yes, I want you all to be my friends, too :-) i met you all during a pivotal time that informed a lot of who i am and what i make. i feel bad for being a dick back in da day, i think ducko received the worst of that, so sorry dude!

q—not sure what to say, i think cook put it best… im not sure there is a good reason to harbor this tremendous grudge…

I have to come clean, everyone. It was me that was unironically putting Portal references in the news

I used Linux for work. It was OK. I like that normal keyboard shortcuts work on it. (macos shortcuts make me very sad!) However basic sound and video things did not work properly and I did not feel like troubleshooting them anymore after a couple hours of running random commands without any improvement. I also found the permissions on directories and files extremely annoying. Another thing that I just don’t have the patience to figure out.

So I still use Windows, but I have disabled the updates. Updated software generally seems to be worse but also I am pretty cynical. Blah blah security. Whatever. My computer turns on and quickly obeys me!

Still didn’t push a fix for Igua… here’s a game I made this week! https://hubol.itch.io/lady-at-the-costco-gave-me-her-extra-hot-dog-soda-combo
