Netencode: I’m currently building out my project of making a “better” structured language for use in UNIX-pipelines and shell scripting and the like.
It’s human-readable, but supports trivial generation with printf & wc, tagged values (sum types, Result<T>) and embedding arbitrary binaries without escaping due to being length-prefixed.
I think it’s pretty cool!
Node.js Moves Toward Stable TypeScript Support With Amaro 1.0, by @sarahgooding (@SocketSecurity):

“What seems rather dangerous about #Hollywood’s interest in #GenerativeAI isn’t the “death” of the larger #StudioSystem, but rather this #technology’s potential to make it easier for studios to work with *fewer actual people*.
That’s literally one of Asteria’s big selling points, and if its #workflows became the industry norm, it is hard to imagine it scaling in a way that could accommodate today’s #entertainment #workforce transitioning into new #careers.
As for what’s good about it, Mooser knows the right talking points. Now he has to show that his #tech — and all the changes it entails — can work.”

React-like functional webcomponents, but with vanilla HTML, JS and CSS
Introducing Dim – a new #Framework that brings #ReactJS-like functional #JSX-syntax with #VanillaJS. Check it out here: Project: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim
Website: https://dim.positive-intentions.com
My journey with #WebComponents started with Lit, and while I appreciated its native browser support (less #Tooling!), coming from #ReactJS, the class components felt like a step backward. The #FunctionalProgramming approach in React significantly improved my #DeveloperExperience and debugging flow.
So, I set out to build a thin, functional wrapper around #Lit, and Dim is the result! It's a #ProofOfConcept right now, with "main" #Hooks similar to React, plus some custom ones like useStore for #EncryptionAtRest. (Note: #StateManagement for encryption-at-rest is still unstable and currently uses a hardcoded password while I explore #Passwordless options like #WebAuthn/#Passkeys).
You can dive deeper into the #Documentation and see how it works here: Dim Docs: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/category/dim
This #OpenSource project is still in its early stages and very #Unstable, so expect #BreakingChanges. I've already received valuable #Feedback on some functions regarding #Security, and I'm actively investigating those. I'm genuinely open to all feedback as I continue to develop it!
