Got definitions working with async eval-handler while there's some server process output glitch still.

Making progress with Phel nREPL getting ns form evaluation somewhat working with requires https://t.co/TYma4KhYaG.

Also testing clj-nrepl-eval command line tool (https://t.co/BSbo912KHb), looking wild on first failing attempt.

@phel_lang A runtime check for vector type failed as the existing code started producing a lazy sequence (PHP object) after the upgrade. Solved by wrapping with `doall`.

Quality runtime validation error provided by https://t.co/PeVMh8HpVL

@phel_lang Upgraded all the way to latest 0.29.0 and nothing broke, great! (knocking wood)

Upgraded Phel WordPress plugin skeleton https://t.co/J5Lbl44FAg. Runs a lot faster now thank's to namespace caching.

Port of X11 jumpapp / MacOS Alfred App style "run or raise" application launching hotkey logic for Linux KDE Plasma 6 / Wayland desktop https://t.co/FoXQWt6n2y

"REPL" with Darktable (using Lua HTTP server) https://t.co/XrB8LDjuAv

@Chemaclass Site looks good and works also fine without JavaScript, nice.

Improved #Emacs web-mode to support wildcards when defining attribute that are skipped by the indentation engine.

Helps e.g. setting indendation rules for #datastar 's or #alpinejs 's custom attributes, often having multi-line expressions as values.

Looking at Bitwig Studio 6 upgrade licenses and the winter sale. I don't think I have opened version 5 it more than 5 times so possibly waiting the summer sale for next upgrade. Scale locking and patterns (FL Studio -ish features) seem nice.

Dape (#Emacs DAP client) config using #lisp feels refreshing after (countless awful memories in the past of fighting with) launch.json to get it working with #PHP #XDebug running in local development VM.

Static JSON and custom template variables v.s. lisp expression.. (WIP)

[jasalt @jasalt_]

Got Emacs dape-mode finally working with PHP XDebug. Seems quite mind blowing compared to dap-mode or VSCode debugger used previously.

@BohuslavSimek Interesting take, I think it could be improved too.

On PHP side the average user probably comes to it from a framework/platform like WordPress or Laravel where more of the "marketing" is done, contrast to Golang where framework-less approach is more popular.

Feeling adventurous after new OS version installation and attempting to drop VirtualBox for running WordPress development environments (https://t.co/lmqALZTCa0). Now it's running in QEMU/KVM with libvirt which is less of a black box and works straight out of Debian apt repo,🤞.

I think larger border radiuses are unpleasant look at. Operating systems without user configurable GUI window decorations should be banned.

@kauppilainen @anders_murphy Haha, nice to hear! It's been a stepping stone for me to start thinking in async / event-driven way with the backend (from Python WSGI / PHP-FPM background) and to start enjoying reactive front-end stuff.

[jasalt @jasalt_]

@kauppilainen Hey, I watched your https://t.co/3n2hLYxNw2 talk and it was cool. I think you should check what @anders_murphy et al. are doing with Datastar & Clojure too, those can definitely solve this sort of UI's elegantly in event-driven fashion plus its FOSS.

[jasalt @jasalt_]

@killian_arts PHP runtime is fine for most things and I like it (especially when writing Phel) but main regret for me is the adoption of concurrency / async features which seem years behind Python, Java and others, eventhough things like PHP 8.1 fibers and AMPHP have recently appeared.

@winkler1 @bebraw Related "The Rise of Disappearing Frameworks in Web Development" also talks further on disappearing frameworks https://t.co/NFwDU5b61O. Seeing academic text on the topic for a change is refreshing. Could also give weight when arguing on tech choices contrary to mainstream ways.
