We can simulate bound variables. Building on getters as mentioned:

with({ get doubleX() { return x * 2 } }) {

}

@xah_lee I think if that is wanted, this should be possible? @oriSomething

Going to use the first pass switch label init to define my uppercases, and understand rel line numbers. Haven't tested yet.

@BrendanEich Because 10 days was not enough to add `goto`

https://t.co/GKdCEESXpQ

[Forever Open Source @fscgo]

`goto hell;`

[Forever Open Source @fscgo]

You don’t see A16Z (Netscape, FF) in the weeds like this 🤘 much respect.

[BrendanEich @BrendanEich]

@xah_lee What’s wrong with downward no loop goto in C code where break etc. do not suffice?

@bobtabor Using PC RAM even the fast varieties, is not very feasible for OpenCode in my testing, however VRAM works very well (Ollama, etc.); Seems this is changing soon, but hope you make good use of that 128.

@oriSomething I ran into some Opus output that did early-return in React but called hooks after it. Instant no-no. Somehow Solid’s early return ban doesn’t feel so arbitrary now.

Where is some fun / exciting SolidJS content these days?

[Ori Livni @oriSomething]

Because the way it's structured @solid_js able to do wild things

[Forever Open Source @fscgo]

`goto hell;`

[BrendanEich @BrendanEich]

@fscgo Find “Tennent’s Correspondence Principle” in TC39 archives and read up.

[Forever Open Source @fscgo]

@BrendanEich One day I’ll get on TC39 to add eval(“return”) or eval(“break something”)

[BrendanEich @BrendanEich]

@fscgo Based on Java’s equivalents (continue too, in a loop): https://t.co/lNfFmgoApi.

I wonder what fraction of JS hackers do not know about break to label.

[Forever Open Source @fscgo]

break/label is the goto which we have in JS. Probably used like:

exit: { exit_cleanup: {

const err = doWork()

if (err) break exit_cleanup
else break exit

}
// exit cleanup code
return "error"
}
// exit normal
return "success

Going to open a store called, "Just JavaScript!"

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

So your telling me onclick="foo()" is legacy because it pollutes the global namespace. So we then we added modules, which requires getElementById(..).addEventListener(".."), so then we added frameworks to re-add back on:click="foo()" but with magic. What is wrong with you all?

[Forever Open Source @fscgo]

@BrendanEich *Wheat

That was my bad

[trish @TrisH0x2A]

Dijkstra called goto harmful in 1968

the Linux kernel contains tens of thousands of goto statements

the label out alone appears thousands of times

Linus's response on LKML in 1997: "there's nothing wrong with gotos, especially for handling error cases"

[lcamtuf @lcamtuf]

I might have invented a new flavor of goto-oriented programming: https://t.co/6lxHti7Yk6

@Hacksore IPO for SoundFlare: fully on-prem zero-cloud.

[Andrea Giammarchi 🍥 @WebReflection]

the "in module protected" pattern is what made it possible to have Computed extends Signal without having neither classes exposing public fields anyone could accidentally play around with

this is my "new favorite" pattern for inheritance when classes need private fields + extend

[Andrea Giammarchi 🍥 @WebReflection]

I wasn't too happy about JSC vs V8 performance so I went ahead and changed approach.

v0.2 is now classes based, just like Preact, but it's also now as fast, if not faster, than Preact.

still ~0.5KB but slightly bigger than before.
