@pikapikasui Thanks for sharing @pikapikasui, the slow event polling performance was concerning to us, but turns out was due to the benchmark using the old alpha URL (which no longer responds). The official GraphQL URL is https://t.co/HcpAk5AsSF and performs as expected!

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@0xairtx @TrustlessMike @BL0CKRUNNER 💯 not great at all, that's why I said we know we need to do better. We just know that writing a one off SDK will not be enough. One avenue we're hopeful for is investing in batteries-included RPCs (like GraphQL) - easier to use across ecosystems, and for us to support.

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@TrustlessMike @BL0CKRUNNER @0xairtx Glad Move is working well for you though, let us know if you come across docs you think should be updated.

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@0xairtx @TrustlessMike @BL0CKRUNNER @yakitoridev @AF_intern Asking the hard questions. @AF_intern hasn't caused us enough trouble to deserve his own list yet, but we love all our feedback-givers equally, don't worry.

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@0xairtx @TrustlessMike @BL0CKRUNNER @yakitoridev We keep a separate list for @yakitoridev's feedback because it's so long 😅 we're working on it.

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@TrustlessMike @BL0CKRUNNER @0xairtx Hey @TrustlessMike -- I work on DevX for Sui -- what are the biggest changes that are causing you churn/grief at the moment? I'd love to get those docs updated for you.

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@firearrowlu @PerelmanDmitri Sounds like the main problem is that we're missing content: https://t.co/W0o2bYwZTl!

(GraphQL is a tricky one -- we haven't fleshed out its docs because we haven't fully productionized it)

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@PerelmanDmitri @firearrowlu @firearrowlu, curious to hear more about the confusion on the graphql topics: How did this split end up confusing your visit? (What were you searching for, where did you start, how did you get off track, how did you come back on track?)

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@dotkusam @PerelmanDmitri Two reasons!

localnet and devnet rotate their chain IDs regularly, so using names prevents stale entries lingering in the lock file.

We plan to allow dependencies to change based on environment, which means you can have multiple deployments per chain.

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@SadMouseTweets Got it! Let us know what kinds of examples would be interesting -- I'll post them here, and make sure they get added to the docs.

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@SadMouseTweets Links now fixed! Thanks again for the report :)

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@SadMouseTweets Looks like links to the concepts page won't play nice until the fix lands. They are accessible through the docs menu (Concepts > App Developers > GraphQL for the Sui RPC)

If you're ever stuck on a desert island and only have js functions, you'll be happy you caught @ashok_menon's talk https://t.co/54GgZqx3Ip

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@MateiCopot the editor was Emacs, but the keybindings were VIM, courtesy of the "Evil" package.

[Ashok Menon @ashok_menon]

@Marcus_Noble_ it's Emacs! With VIM keybindings.

[JSOxford @JSOxford]

Tomorrow @ashok_menon's going to build the world with only functions. Come along for the adventure https://t.co/WNNVv2DRr3

[JSOxford @JSOxford]

We’re pretty excited that @ashok_menon will be talking to us about #javascript from scratch in June. Join us! https://t.co/WNNVv2DRr3

@ezyang Have a look at Cartwright and Fagan, Soft Typing. The trick is to change what you are unifying from types to constraints over types.
