It's finally here! The first major release of ESLint in almost two years. This took a ton of work by a lot of people, and we couldn't have done it without the support of our sponsors. ❤️🙏

@thorstenball All other things being equal, in my case it would be the left side one as well. I seem to operate soap dispensers with my left hand and reaching across to the right dispenser feels more awkward than using the left.

Ugh, didn't "quote retweet" the previous retweet. My 2c: Types become increasingly important the more people work on the same codebase.

Fighting this trend will affect your career in the most brutal way imaginable. The best, highest paying jobs likely already went all-in on TypeScript **or want to**

Having some weird, dumb anti-ts take will increasingly limit yourself to lowest-quality engineering jobs.

@thorstenball GnuCash can do online banking, but it requires a lot of manual setup. https://t.co/xzjvoj0Gbi https://t.co/N1mQZv6jxq

In 2022 I got into how programming languages work. thanks to @thorstenball incredible book - Writing An Interpreter In Go.

Now, I've just come across this site https://t.co/mAhYNSMyrj where you can take a look at what the Abstract Syntax Tree of compiled Javascript looks like.

@zemnmez I said "parsers" but it really was just https://t.co/BQvqmkBNNP.

[Felix Kling @fkling42]

@zemnmez Back then (2014) I started to use JavaScript parsers for various projects (I think react-docgen was one of them) and I found looking at JSON blobs in the console too cumbersome... eventually people contributed parsers even beyond JavaScript.

@rob_rich Thank you Rob!

[Felix Kling @fkling42]

@willklein_ @geteslint That's great to hear! 😀

[Will Klein @willklein_]

If there isn't a good rule for your use case, you can write one. I have seen engineers pull up https://t.co/ihMi1QvgKF for the first time (credit @fkling42 !), and an hour later, they've written their first custom rule with @geteslint.

It's true joy.

[Jan Nicklas @jantimon]

good news for SWC plugin authors

https://t.co/0ae8j5vZZ3 added support for SWC 🎉

thanks @_ojkwon @kdy1dev @fkling42

[Felix Kling @fkling42]

@thorstenball Yeah, it's unfortunate that NoStarch has to ship internationally. I just saw that Elsevier offers paperback + ebook bundles and has free shipping. Haven't tried them yet though.

[Felix Kling @fkling42]

@jasonlaster11 @AndaristRake @souporserious @babeljs @RollupJS Honestly I have no idea. I can't imagine that it's difficult though. I'll look into it!

[Gabrielle Crevecoeur @NoWaySheCodes]

So if you have used the @typescript playground (https://t.co/5b8wHhgVBp) ... what do you think we are missing?

I would love answers from all developer levels!

RT Please :)

[Felix Kling @fkling42]

@RReverser I'm glad they include a waterproof mount at this price point.

[Laurie @laurieontech]

Understanding ASTs will give you JavaScript superpowers in the tooling space.

And it’s live! You can now play around with Scala 3’s AST using Scalameta in you browser!
