Ok kiddos. It’s becoming clear there’s not just going to be Another Twitter at about the same rate it’s becoming clear that there might not be This Twitter much longer.

So as we figure out what brave new world we find ourselves in:

💥 The Glint Deep Dive series is now complete! It took 6 long episodes, but @__dfreeman and I covered everything from the high-level architecture to nitty gritty compilation details. There is nothing else quite like this on editor tooling for @typescript!

@asnar002 @runarorama Building this was very much just scratching an itch for myself: I wanted to see what it would be like.

The websocket bit, though, is almost incidental. In a world where Unison compiled to wasm, most of the library would work cleanly in the browser as-is, which I think is neat.

@asnar002 @runarorama To quote the readme: “Is it a good idea? Probably not. Nevertheless, here we are.”

That’s of course a bit tongue-in-cheek, and the LiveView folks have been successful with the model, but I wouldn’t build something aiming to handle zillions of users with this architecture myself.

Oh hey, @__dfreeman and I are back for our second deep dive of how Glint works: how do we transform #Glimmer templates (in @emberjs or @glimmerjs) into @TypeScript? (Spoilers: it’s all *lies*, all the way down!) https://t.co/ObpYVxoEqI

[Chris Krycho @chriskrycho]

Today, @__dfreeman and I recorded the first of 2–3 YouTube screencasts/walkthroughs of how the Glint tooling for @typescript with Handlebars templates works. ✨ 🛠️ Part 1 is an overview of the architecture and code base! https://t.co/gxpQe1Wfqz

@milkglutton_ @ReverendPear Wait but how do you feel about these ones? https://t.co/NxQ67u1F0b

[Dan Freeman @__dfreeman]

@milkglutton_ @ReverendPear I like when explode

[Dan Freeman @__dfreeman]

@ReverendPear @rockpaper_sarah @milkglutton_ Oh I see

[Dan Freeman @__dfreeman]

@ReverendPear @rockpaper_sarah @milkglutton_ I think that’s you

Absolute top-tier content like this is the only reason I still check in here periodically.

[Dan Freeman @__dfreeman]

@milkglutton_ Now me too

[Jonathan Freeman @ReverendPear]

Oh yeah? Well could someone without three dearly beloved siblings do... THIS?

Have the courage to double down on your convictions.

GPT-4 can't take our jobs if we keep making weird new programming languages faster than it can keep up

[Dan Freeman @__dfreeman]

@mwhooker You love to see it

[qntm @qntm]

That's a neat idea, huge leftover communications networks from prior iterations of humanity, hostile to humans, almost totally unusable due to automated spam, except for the few and extremely determined

@jrfbz Yes a thing would be delightful it’s been way too long

@jrfbz I think it’s a perfect storm of weird lighting in that photo and the fact that my facial hair has more red in it than my top-of-head hair.

But I’m still me and definitely haven’t been replaced by a clockwork double composed of fondue and Rösti, I swear

[Dan Freeman @__dfreeman]

@milkglutton_ Me either 🫣
