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.

Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (December 2023)
My name is Aldwin. I'm back-end-leaning full-stack (web-) developer with over 13 years of full time professional experience at various software development agencies. Besides that, I have years of hobby-programming and open-source experience, with Fluture[1] being my most well-received.
I've been leading small teams for the last eight years, focusing on developer enabling work such as process management, devops, software architecture, and coaching.
I'm very passionately in particular about functional programming, and I'm hoping to coach teams when it comes to the cross-over between functional programming and software architecture - something a lot of developers who are new to FP struggle with.
Although I have been involved in a huge variety of software types, I'm particularly well-experienced when it comes to real-time, offline-first web-applications and real-time data processing.

FP for web/mobile apps in 2022?
I think that it is fine to code perfectly functional apps using TypeScript with React Native and React. You will have a huge community to support you with documentation, libraries, and available labor. Yes, the language has a lot of soundness holes and misses a lot of useful features like pattern matching or type classes but, for me, it is a valid trade-off. There are libraries for better FP programming in TypeScript like fp-ts, io-ts, and fluture.

Introduction to Functional Programming in JavaScript
Fortunately, as it has been shown in this article, it’s definitely possible to use functional programming with plain JavaScript. However, if you really want to dive deeper into this paradigm while using JavaScript, you’ll probably want to use some already existing functional libraries such as Sanctuary, Fluture, Ramda and others.

A Fallback for the JavaScript Pipeline Operator
This is great news for functionally-minded libraries such as Ramda, Sanctuary, Fluture, and many more. But it also makes some vanilla JavaScript nicer, for example:

TDD
Qué rico. Si tenés chance meté un proceso de code review fuerte, y para el tema de I/O probá a usar https://github.com/Effect-TS/schema ó https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts que les da una solución obvia al tema de "tipos para lo que devuelva el backend", aunque es en realidad mucho más capaz que eso.

Domain modelling with State Machines and TypeScript by Carlton Upperdine
My fave is still io-ts (https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/docs/index.md) as I find it more flexible than zod at the ingress. The author is also working on the Effect ecosystem which also looks interesting.

Why I Like Using Maps (and WeakMaps) for Handling DOM Nodes
I’ve been using io-ts for this and been very happy with it. [1] It’s similar to Swift’s Coding protocol in case you’re familiar.

Can someone recommend a library for data parsing similar to Zod, but with better support for input transformations/preprocessing?
Yeah, there are a few new concepts and it's not the easiest to pick up right away. The best introduction is here on the main documentation page.
- libraries you are happy that you discovered them
- Is React for small projects an Overkill?
-
how to strictly type this?
We use https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md which has a very similar interface. It can even be used to mutate the data using https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts/blob/master/Decoder.md#the-parse-combinator.

Typescript advanced bits: function overloading, never and unknown types
A good way to significantly improve the reliability of your app is via improving type-safety by moving away from using any to unknown. One relevant example could be when you type your backend responses and when stringifying JSON to using unknown combined with some sort of runtime type checking. It can be done either by using built-in functionality like type guards or using an external library like io-ts, zod or yup.

I found 10,000x faster TypeScript validator library
Usage of TypeBox is similar with io-ts and zod, but it is much powerful and faster than them. Also, TypeBox can generate JSON schema very easily. Therefore, if you're looking for a validator library for new project and not suffering from legacy codes, I think TypeBox would be much better choice than io-ts and zod. TypeBox can totally replace them.

Validate your data with Zod
This check can be done with different libraries like: io-ts, typebox, or zod. These libraries allow you to create objects that represent your typescript definitions. Then, these objects can be used at runtime to validate the received data, in addition, you can also convert this object to a Typescript definition to have all the benefits of using typescript. These objects can be called schema validations because they are responsible for the data validation.
What are some alternatives?
rubico - [a]synchronous functional programming
zod - TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference
scriptum - Functional Programming Unorthodoxly Adjusted to Client-/Server-side Javascript
class-validator - Decorator-based property validation for classes.
adequate-guide-react - A sample app of usage of functional programming with React.
openapi-generator - OpenAPI Generator allows generation of API client libraries (SDK generation), server stubs, documentation and configuration automatically given an OpenAPI Spec (v2, v3)
posterus - Composable async primitives with cancelation, control over scheduling, and coroutines. Superior replacement for JS Promises.
fp-ts - Functional programming in TypeScript
node-tda - NodeJS API for TDA
runtypes - Runtime validation for static types
ppipe - pipes values through functions, an alternative to using the proposed pipe operator ( |> ) for ES
