Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

F# File uploads with Saturn and Falco
Today I don't have a new series to start with but rather a simple example which may or may not grow in another blog series. For the moment we'll talk about how to do File uploads to an F# backend powered by Falco and Saturn so let's get started!

Targeting Node, Bun and Deno With F#
Bix is a micro-framework designed with F# in mind and that runs on both Deno and Bun! and in theory it also should even run in a service worker! (intercepting fetch requests) although I haven't tested that yet, it offers a general purpose handler that coupled with a set of route definitions it can bring a Giraffe/Saturn like framework to life in JavaScript runtimes which is incredibly awesome! useful? maybe not π , but awesome indeed. Let's see some code for it

If you were to create a Web API today from scratch how would you do it ?
Backend: Most likely it would be a toss between https://saturnframework.org or https://giraffe.wiki. They both combins the extremely good type system in F# combined with the ease of a minimal API.

Why did you (any .NET pro) either choose or switch to using F#?
The "S" stands for Saturn. Suave is not very popular.

Building a Webpack alternative in F#
While for a proof of concept Suave did great, I switched it in favor of Saturn given my familiarity with it and some ASP.NET code.

Phoenix for F#
Saturn is heavily inspired by phoenix and has similar generators, and a channel system that is similar. As well as almost the exact same syntax for the router with plugs and all.

Doing MVC in F# and Saturn
Today we'll try to keep it as simple as possible but no promises, since this entry is about creating web servers in F# using Saturn and not only that, we'll also try to go for a more traditional'ish MVC.

How to Start & Setup a React project in 2024 (7 Different Ways Based on Use Cases)
Vite is currently the best build tool for bundling Front-end applications. It's so fast because it uses esbuild under the hood. Vite hot reload is the fastest among other development tools I have used.

Rustify your JavaScript tooling
A big part of my work revolves around JavaScript tooling, and as such it's important to keep an eye on the ecosystem and see where things are going. It's no secret that recently lots of projects are native-ying (??) parts of their codebase, or even rewriting them to native languages altogether. Esbuild is one of the first popular and successful examples of this, which was written in Go. Other examples are Rspack and Turbopack, which are both Rust-based alternatives to Webpack, powered by SWC ("Speedy Web Compiler"). There's also Rolldown, a Rust-based alternative to Rollup powered by OXC ("The JavaScript Oxidation Compiler"), but Rollup itself is also native-ying (??) parts of their codebase and recently started using SWC for parts of their codebase. And finally, there are Oxlint (powered by OXC) and Biome as Rust-based alternatives for Eslint and Prettier respectively.

Exploring Angular 17 and Beyond: Major Enhancements, Latest Updates, Migration Strategies, and Future Outlook
Angular 17 introduces a significant performance boost by harnessing the capabilities of esbuild, a swift JavaScript bundler. This integration optimizes the build process, reducing build times and enhancing the overall performance of web applications developed with Angular. Developers can now expedite the application development cycle and deployment, leading to a more seamless development experience.

How and why do we bundle zx?
At first we wanted to just get rid of all the helper utilities. Keep only the kernel, but this would mean a loss of backward compatibility. We needed some efficient code processing instead with recomposition and tree-shaking. We needed a bundler. But which one? Our testing approach relies on targets, not sources. We rebuilt the project frequently, speed was critical requirement. In essence, we chose a solution from a couple of among all available alternatives: esbuild and parcel. Esbuild won. Specifically in our case, it proved to be more productive and customizable.

Use Notion as your CMS along with Next.js
During my search for deploying Lambdas via GitHub actions, I came across a tutorial that utilized ncc for converting TypeScript and bundling. While ncc is effective, I discovered esbuild, which proved to be significantly faster and perfectly suited to my requirements.
