@htmx_org maaaan, another year that I won't make it, but i'll check the videos when available. That @scriptogre talk looks juicy 👌

[Christian Tanul @scriptogre]

interestingly it is very bad at prompting itself, consistently relying on negative instructions, or providing "leaf" solutions instead of root solutions

so you've got to put in some effort there

i guess you shouldn't ask a fish how to fish

[Christian Tanul @scriptogre]

try to spend 20 min meta-talking (?) with your coding agent

tell it what annoys you during sessions, and ask what it could automatically do to improve your experience

i feel like sometimes we forget the power it can have, if you ask the right questions

[Christian Tanul @scriptogre]

my ADHD brain always switches topics and i get stressed because I lose track, and I don't trust /compact

told it that and now it keeps reminding me the "threads" we've opened until they close

small thing yet so huge

[htmx.org / Jim Cramer of Crypto (same thing) @htmx_org]

after over a year, happy to announce the 0.9.90 release of hyperscript

https://t.co/VjfFLhJEMY

includes: reactive sub-system by @scriptogre, a redone templating system by one of my students, morphing by @latent22, a component system & many, many more features

enjoy!

Unpopular(?) opinion: LLMs write better code in Rust than they do in JS.

At least that's been my experience.

My guess is that Rust's "quality floor" is higher b/c the compiler is so strict, while JS training data is more of a wild west.

First time posting about this. Been building in private for too long... Time to ship in public.

[Christian Tanul @scriptogre]

Building something I've wanted for years.

Type-safe templates for Python. HTML inline with your code.

Think Astro / Templ, but in Python.

[Christian Tanul @scriptogre]

Thinking of calling it Hyper.

Unfortunately, there's already a (cool, but archived) project on PyPI with that name: https://t.co/riRgnvcxQI

Open to suggestions.

[Christian Tanul @scriptogre]

Go-to-definition, type checking, autocomplete & file nesting all work.

I built the JetBrains plugin before the transpiler. I knew it'd be useless without proper tooling.

[Christian Tanul @scriptogre]

It uses a transpiler written in Rust (btw).

You write custom .hyper syntax, it outputs (in <1ms) .py files with importable functions.

Then, you import & use those functions in your Python code (e.g. Django, FastAPI, etc.).

Not a lot of magic. Just syntax sugar for Python.

explicit async was a mistake the hyperscript runtime is 100% correct & should be the browser standard

happy to announce the latest member of the board for htmx, and also our first international (romania) board member: luna

while luna may be a puppy, we expect that she will provide a steady paw on the ship of htmx over the coming years under the guidance of bomber & summit

@snewmanpv @MagusJourney @htmx_org That no-delay help panel is just what the target audience (me) needed to find my footing in the wonderful world of hypertext. Genius.
