PEG.js VS deno

Here's a javascript library that lets you generate your own language that compiles to Javascript. https://pegjs.org/ It's a compiler generator. You can either use the command line tool and feed it your grammar (You have to write that) and use the generated parser.js which can then run your program, or use peg.js as a dependency and generate your parser at run time before feeding it your program.

The library they're having trouble with is the most common parser generator in javascript, peg.js, which has about 80% of the market

Currently, I have only POC the grammar and language and parser are created using https://pegjs.org/

In past blog posts, where I've written about PEG, I've used Parsimonious in Python, such as three of my solutions to the 2020 Advent Of Code challenges (here, (here)[https://dev.to/meseta/advent-of-code-day-18-finally-using-peg-grammar-in-python-in-the-way-it-s-supposed-to-3253], and (here)[https://dev.to/meseta/advent-of-code-day-19-abusing-peg-grammar-in-python-the-way-it-s-not-supposed-to-2beg]). This time, because the rest of the website is javascript, I will be using PEG.js instead to avoid adding an extra programming language to the codebase.

Update: I started writing a grammar for this language in PEG using PEG.js. This was super fun, I'll take a stab at an interpreter next, that should be much harder.

I was going to post the same thing. This really helped me understand the concepts better back in the day. They also have examples for some popular languages on their github: https://github.com/pegjs/pegjs/tree/master/examples

NodeJS is the dominant Javascript server runtime environment for Javascript and Typescript (sort of) projects. But over the years, we have seen several attempts to build alternative runtime environments such as Deno and Bun, today’s subject, among others.

https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues is the ideal place -- we try to triage all incoming issues, the more specific the repro the easier it is to address but we will take a look at everything that comes in.

Install Node.js (or Bun, or Deno, or whatever JS runtime you prefer) if it's not there

QUIC is very exciting, after seeing what it can do for performance in Cloudflare network and Cloudflare workers, I can't wait to finally see it in Deno[0] 1.41.

So as an end user it's kind of like https://deno.com/ where you buy into a runtime + comes prepacked with DBs (k/v stores), scheduling, and deploy stuff?

> by storing Unison code in a database, keyed by the hash of that code, we gain a perfect incremental compilation cache which is shared among all developers of a project. This is an absolutely WILD feature, but it's fantastic and hard to go back once you've experienced it. I am basically never waiting around for my code to compile - once code has been parsed and typechecked once, by anyone, it's not touched again until it's changed.

Interesting. Whats it like upgrading and managing dependencies in that code? I'd assume it gets more complex when it's not just the Union system but 3rd party plugins (stuff interacting with the OS or other libs).

~90MB+ at this stage and do now allow compression without erroring out. Deploying ala Golang is not feasible at that level but could well be down the line if this dev branch is picked up again!

The exe output grew from from ~50MB to plus ~90MB from 2021 to 2024: https://github.com/denoland/deno/discussions/9811 which mean Deno is worse than Node.js's pkg solution by a decent margin.

Behind the scenes is a simple Sveltekit-powered server function to fetch a Spotify client token then find a user's recommendation playlist and its track information. A Deno edge function to performs this data fetch and renders server-side Svelte.

If your application is written in JavaScript, integrating it with JavaScript extensions is a no-brainer. However, Secutils.dev is entirely written in Rust. How would I even begin? Fortunately, I recently came across an excellent blog post series explaining how to implement your JavaScript runtime in a Rust application with Deno:
