framework VS kons-9

I'm working on a framework inspired by React/Next.js which turns Haml into Ruby. It's 100% server side, but it runs pretty fast. I'm currently working on a rewrite, I just wish I had more time to work on it.

Mayu, a server side web framework written in Ruby, inspired by React. Been working on it for over a year, and I'm currently doing a complete rewrite now that I have a better idea of how it should work.

Mayu Live[1] has components, it works kinda like React. I have been thinking about making rdom[2] work with Rails but I got a memory leak to fix first. It's possible to do all this in Ruby though.

Thanks, yes mayu.live is a close thing, but I looked at its examples, it's overcomplicated, if done a bit differently, the counter code it shows as example would be 3 times shorter. Nice experiment, same principle as LiveView, but not quite there.

I've been working on a React-inspired framework in Ruby [1,2]. It only requires a few kilobytes of JavaScript, and only includes the relevant stylesheets for each page. Works pretty well and I guess I'm in a rural area (about 90 minutes down the river from Iquitos, Peru) on a 4G connection.

I recently did another experiment [3] where each static DOM tree becomes a custom element, which also reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred.

I should probably make a Show HN post soon...

Very cool. I must check this out.

I implemented some L-system features in my 3D Common Lisp system: https://github.com/kaveh808/kons-9

In some small way I am revisiting the idea with https://github.com/kaveh808/kons-9

We'll see what comes of it.

I began my 3D graphics development on a Symbolics workstation at the MIT Media Lab in the mid-80's. This was before the S-Graphics suite was released. [0]

The outstanding feature of the S-Graphics suite was the polygonal modeler which used a winged-edge structure that was far ahead of its time. It survives conceptually in the Wings3D system, which is a quite faithful copy of that modeler.

And of course you got the extensibility that came with the graphics system being built on Lisp.

But Symbolics was never, as far as I saw, a serious or popular contender in 3D production. Not only was the system expensive, but the hardware could not keep up with SGI's graphics abilities. Furthermore, the mass of CG developers at the time came from a C/Unix background, and rendering especially was so speed critical that C (and Fortran) resulted in faster systems.

Almost 40 years later, I have returned to the idea of developing a 3D system in Common Lisp [1]. We shall see where it leads.

If you are interested in 3D graphics, I have tried to keep my code simple and comprehensible: https://github.com/kaveh808/kons-9

As a solo developer of my 3D system, my main focus has been to keep the enthusiasm and momentum going and to enjoy the development process, rather than worrying about how the code might not be optimal in various regards.
