Hi all, I just released a small library for manipulating the DOM using reactive streams. partially inspired by @Steve Krouse’s excellent article The Misunderstood Roots of FRP Can Save Programming.

📢 Enso Dev Blog — 18th December 2020 via Joe Nash

🧵 conversation

Enso (formerly known by many of you as Luna) is nearing release of 2.0. The first single binary installer will be coming in the near future, which should make it a lot easier to use and try out the new Enso. If you’re interested in taking it for a test drive, there’s a signup on the latest devblog, from which we’ll send you the package and docs as soon as it’s ready

Non technical?

If you're not a techie, or have access to someone who isn't, would you be kind enough to cast your normie eyes on this page for me?

Thinking Together

💬 Nick Fox-Gieg

🧵 conversation

The final 24 hours of Flash's death clock seem like a good occasion to think about the non-linear nature of art-making tool development. I suppose I'm a technological determinist, and the larger forces that hashed out browser standards--nurturing Flash for a time, and then abruptly extinguishing it--don't seem all that historically different from, for example, the 1979 global silver shortage, which by suddenly raising the price of film stock greatly accelerated the shift to video.

📝 Perceus: Garbage Free Reference Counting with Reuse via Chris Knott

🧵 conversation

I really like this paper which has a clear and simple reference counting system for a functional language, which ends up being surprisingly performant.

The key point is that it is fairly easy for the programmer to anticipate when memory will be freed and then immediately refused, allowing for code that effectively mutates memory in place.

🐦 Tweet from @maxkreminski via Ope

🧵 conversation

I found this interesting. I wonder how emotions can be thought about with regards to the future of programming

🐦 Max Kreminski: love this characterization of how dread (& emotion more generally) influences programmers’ use of tools. emotion is key to creativity support tool design – one big reason that people find creativity hard is bc of all the emotional hangups around it https://twitter.com/left_pad/status/1313245209917087745

🐦 Henry: here's @rsnous on the dread of using debuggers: "it's not sufficient to just give people a tool that theoretically does the thing. It has to be integrated in the experience in a way that works emotionally"
