js-proposal-algebraic-effects VS semver

I have to admit: you're perfectly right here. React of course always relied on mutable state in it's implementation – just so we don't have to. I derailed a lot here to keep this funny thread going ;) I'm still not with you on your definition of "functional", since you treated it synonymously with "purely functional". Functional means just made by applying and composing functions, and react UI is created exactly like that. There is an awesome algebraic effects proposal[1], which will hopefully will be added to JavaScript one day, then react will make use of it to become purely functional.

Super interesting, there is a proposal to add this to JavaScript and several languages that use this, unison, koka & eff. I had no idea this was even a thing!

Ok I was wrongly assuming that panic was expecting an error type, in fact it's an interface{}.

> Your use of exceptions for flow control (i.e. goto) is considered harmful

Exceptions are a way to delegate error handling to the caller by giving them informations about the unexpected behavior. It implies that the expected behavior is the "happy path" (everything went well) and any deviations (errors) is unexpected.

This is far from a goto because you can have `try/finally` blocks without catch (or defer in golang).

Also, exceptions are just a kind of algebraic effects that do not resume. There was a proposal to JS for this: https://github.com/macabeus/js-proposal-algebraic-effects

This is also easier to test. assertRaises(ErrorType, func() { code... })

Almost every Go library I've seen just return an error (which is just a string), you'd need to parse it to assert that the correct error is returned in special conditions.

Following the Semantic Versioning rules, you should raise the version number every time you need to publish your library. In your "package.json" file, you need to change the version number to reflect whether the changes are major, minor, or patch updates.

Semantic Versioning: An established convention for version numbers following the pattern MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Increases the major of the latest tag and prints it As per the Semver spec, it'll also clear the pre-release…

The reason for this is that software libraries and package managers, in general, but specifically here, rely on semantic versioning. Semantic versioning is really useful for distributing packages in a predictable way. What does this look like for our project?

I believe neovim follows semantic versioning. https://semver.org/

Semver has been 2.0.0 for 10 years, look at the date of the assets. Multiple releases created today where none existed before. Not sure why someone is creating releases now, perhaps just some housekeeping/cleanup.

All ELRS hardware will talk to all other ELRS hardware, including Radiomaster's ELRS transmitters and receivers. There are one or two exceptions from scummy companies that have been pilloried by the community, and you probably won't find them anymore. So long as the ELRS firmware running on both devices has the same major version number, you're good to go. ie. 3.3.1 will still talk to 3.0.1, but won't talk to 2.0.0. (The "major version" is the 1st number, the "minor version" is the 2nd number, and the "patch version" is the 3rd number. See Semantic Versioning for more info.)

If you're using semver, read the spec it's not overly long or hard to understand.

Semantic versioning actually has a clear rule about this:
