fsc-host VS quokka

Each actor monitors a file using an internal FileSystemWatcher; when a change is detected, the view is compiled using RenderView.AsString. Now, how you load that file can go a few different ways, but for my own SSG I use fsc-host as a hook for the F# compiler to just load the file and reflect out the bits I need.

I have never expected my blog post to be in Hacker News. The aim of all of it is to be able to have F#-script-powered plugins in otherwise compiled code. Check out my example here: https://github.com/queil/fsc-host/blob/main/examples/Compile...

Used to be true, but between Quokka.js for quick prototypes, Wallaby.js for running tests smartly within the IDE, and now Console Ninja which enables inline console.log within the VSCode while running servers for common tooling (webpack, vite). As well as continuously improving collaboration tools like Live Share, And it's become hard for me to find an argument that Webstorm is still better for productivity here.

I use https://quokkajs.com/ it has a free version!

There are some fantastic tools such as Quokka which make "more algorithmic" development very interactive and fun

There's also extensions like https://quokkajs.com/

Quokka.js

I’m a Clojure(script) dev learning TS. My Clojure REPL flow is Cursive + IntelliJ. The closest equivalent I’ve found is https://quokkajs.com for inline evaluation and https://wallabyjs.com for test evaluation. Both are paid products but have free 30 day evaluation periods. Both work in IntelliJ and VsCode.

If you want to code and practice your JS in a sandbox, I highly recommend using VS Code (if you're not already using that for your HTML/CSS) in conjunction with Quokka.js. If you use `console.log()` function to log your results, Quokka will output directly in the editor. There are online resources that do something similar like codesandbox.io but I've found it nice to have a local environment.
