#Elixir's function capture operator and the subsequent way to supply arguments to the variable pointing to the function feels a little clumsy, compared to the semantic ease with which #Javascript lets us do the same. But it's easy enough to understand.

I like the idea of templating my #HTML. I really hate using #Javascript to piece it together in realtime. I do use that in 2 situations:

1. I'm on the bus, on my tablet or phone, and building a prototype where I don't have access to real tools like an IDE or a bunch of servers;

2. When I feel so arrogant I don't have to care about accessibility or security- and privacy-aware users who have javascript turned off.

But otherwise, I much prefer having the templating handled at the server.

I've been writing #OCaml for years and only briefly looked at #ReasonML. I dare say #OCaml, since Reason's aim is to make OCaml more similar to #Javascript and it originates from #Facebook. Nothing good can come out of either of those. 😆

http://www.jsweet.org/ offers a #transpiler from #java to #javascript, for all y'all who enjoy strict typing and an abundance in verbosity, yet have to get their apps working in a web browser.

I have no experience with this tool. I did see it working in sample projects.

Do you have experience with #JSweet? If so, you wouldn't mind sharing, would you?

You know what? My #minimalistComputer will need a calculator too. I can make that with #JavaScript #html and #css though.

Still not sure whether I need a calendar or not. Surely I can come with some combination of the above and iCal for that if I decide I need one

TIL There's a GuavaScript:

"A simpler #Javascript without oversimplifying like CoffeScript and its relatives"

Here two trivial exploits that shows how to tunnel into private networks through #JS:

More attacks described at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487081

Still not enough to reconsider #JavaScript. Too many interests to be #inform with users: https://dev.to/shamar/i-have-been-banned-from-lobsters-ask-me-anything-5041

Ever-growing list of websites that don’t work at all or show a plain white page without #JavaScript is a testament to the cesspool that is modern web development

I browse without JS on mobile to save my meager bandwidth (8mb for JS libs from 10 different sources), to save battery life, and to avoid the deluge of on-page malarkey that make most sites unusable

This is a really nice problem in #geometry.

And someone made a visualisation of it in #javascript using D3.js!
