@dubya_brian @cnakazawa I’m not denying innovation. You call innovation what was launched yesterday. It didn’t pass no test at all. “successfully” has another meaning.

I like the new stuff and the focus on performance, but you’ll be a greater fool if you listen to every new kid in town.

@V1ktor @tkahlen Thanks @V1ktor for the mention ⭐️
Hi @tkahlen if you want to fit it a try, you’re welcome, I’m in early access, so it’s free

@BotanMan I wrote more in detail here, about node and the competition

[Giuseppe La Torre @giuseppelt]

I have a very different take on this.

Node should not follow. Being leader has very different priorities and responsibilities. Let the chasers try to innovate.

I'm not against them, I want them more. But, mind they use tricks to get traction, and this typescript affair is an example (It's not just stripping types, you have to bake the specific business-logic inside your runtime).

I like the feature to run ts directly. But, this is just another silly frontend mindset echo-chamber: "No build step".

Almost every language has a build/packaging step. And often more the one. Every tooling, every runtime, ... the list is very very log. (i'm talking about proper apps not one-liners).

It's just a tooling/workflow issue and a total lack of aptitude to agree on one solution instead of creating dozens, because I'm smart than you or have I business build upon it.

So, "Like to run ts", yes! But let the wisdom of time give a proper say before giving in.

@hapsize True.
But they have also flaws
; )

[Giuseppe La Torre @giuseppelt]

@ScottPlusPlus Sounds good!
I'll give a proper look in a couple of hours

[Giuseppe La Torre @giuseppelt]

@JFTucci This is good.
I approve this.

@thdxr I like this sudden turn in influencer developer

[Giuseppe La Torre @giuseppelt]

@QiLikeCheetah Hence, it’s not working

[Giuseppe La Torre @giuseppelt]

@phuctm97 Even better developers know how to solve problems with other better better developers code

[Giuseppe La Torre @giuseppelt]

@RelentlessNik Sad but true

[Giuseppe La Torre @giuseppelt]

@jo4code @_buildspace @_nightsweekends Thanks anyway for your suggestion!
I’ll keep working

[Giuseppe La Torre @giuseppelt]

@jo4code @_buildspace @_nightsweekends The feature set are not compelling enough for that price point
I will develop first the foundation, and if I get some traction I’ll add more value on top

[Giuseppe La Torre @giuseppelt]

@rauchg @innoutburger Because we actually eat and taste food
