Code. Music. Mexican food. In no particular order.

@slimsag @JohanBrandhorst @bradfitz @PerkeepOrg @aviau_ Fair point. Go having to embed a runtime will always cause some bloat for sure. I guess I was just betting on being able to make it small enough for most practical use - and at least be competitive with other bloated JS libs 😊

[Brad Peabody @bradliusgp]

@JohanBrandhorst @bradfitz @PerkeepOrg @aviau_ @slimsag It might be worth even considering if there is crossover between Vugu and Vecty. Although it would probably require a lot of sorting out different design ideas, the core idea of wasm rendering from Go code is the same. I’d be open to discuss the matter further (on Slack?)

[Brad Peabody @bradliusgp]

@JohanBrandhorst @bradfitz @PerkeepOrg @aviau_ @slimsag In terms of architecture, one of the primary goals was to write (HTML-like) markup as the primary interface for page layout. This is definitely a deliberate decision and I still like the idea, although it has drawbacks. I’d like the two step generate then compile to become 1 step

[Brad Peabody @bradliusgp]

@JohanBrandhorst @bradfitz @PerkeepOrg @aviau_ @slimsag Vugu dev has been slow but it’s definitely still alive as a project. I plan on giving it some more love soon and organizing the additional maintenance it needs to eventually hit v1.0.0

@CompSciDrew @matryer Not if you round in the right places (in math and str conv). But keep in mind not all money is just 2 decimals. Discounts, items sold in pieces, bulk quantities with very small prices (try buying 12,000 capacitors on Digikey), BTC etc. If you don’t round, pitfalls abound.

@_rsc I think it only makes sense when either A enough target environments natively support it or B enough applications benefit from having it native vs a lib (after all is this not the rationale for int64?). Otherwise why bother. I think we’re getting closer but not quite there yet.

[Brad Peabody @bradliusgp]

@BobCollins Hi Bob, there’s a Vugu channel on the Gophers slack, and the GitHub issues are also a good way to discuss specific features/issues.

[GopherCon @GopherCon]

Who dat?! It's @bradliusgp crushin' his tutorial set for "Go is Not Just on Your Server, it's in Your Browser: The Story of and Introduction to Vugu (Go+WebAssembly UI library)" at #GoVirCon on November 12th. Check out the full description at https://t.co/xHJ7GWvhxb #Golang

[Brad Peabody @bradliusgp]

@homeworkprod Yup. The spec still needs some more love but I still think it’s a good idea overall.

[Brad Peabody @bradliusgp]

@ParallaxKen @ParallaxInc Go/Tinygo. The @TinyGolang project I believe is at a point where this realistic (with an LLVM backend)

@catmcgee BASIC, and no, I don’t think I could bring myself to write more of it. Maybe if I were stranded alone on a desert island with nothing but a bunch of Doritos and a Commodore 64... maybe...

@Miss_Avy What if I have no pets?

@davecheney I still love UTF-8 in spite of this.

[Brad Peabody @bradliusgp]

@matryer Debuggers can be useful but log statements can be used in more environments (e.g. production). Log statements can also be used to summarize info and record what happened at a specific instant for later reference. Debuggers generally do not do those things well.

[Brad Peabody @bradliusgp]

@Skarlso @davecheney “util” adds very little if any description, so instead of punting it is best to just find a descriptive name and decide the logical boundary of the package. For me some things like errors, setup/tear down code, text processing each could have been a pkg but ended up in a “misc”

[Brad Peabody @bradliusgp]

@ryan_sb @rsyvarth Maybe but maybe not. Translating a v1 to v6 is easy and the binary format should generally be compatible. One of the goals of the spec is to keep the changes needed minimal for apps trying to adapt.
