Ask HN: Interest in a Rust-Inspired Language Compiling to JavaScript?
Hello HN,
I'm considering the development of a new programming language, drawing inspiration from Rust's strengths, with a focus on compiling to JavaScript. Here what I'm considering are some key features:
Strict Type System
Algebraic Data Types
*Unsafe Mode for JS/TS Interaction*: Facilitate direct interaction with existing JavaScript and TypeScript code.
No Null Usage: Option/Result patterns to avoid null.
Trait Implementation
Backend Development Priority: Initially targeting server-side applications.
Efficient Compiler Design: Including features like dead-code elimination and partial evaluation, similar to the approach of Prepack[0] (by Facebook).
I believe this approach could bring significant benefits, especially with recent advancements like Uint8Array and worker threads.
Would this be of interest to the community? Looking forward to your insights and discussion.

Do any engines or optimizers product TS-specific performance gains?
You can still do optimisations based purely on Javascript semantics. This is similar to the first example you give with dead function elimination, and many minifiers do some amount of this already, but you can take it to some extremes. One example of this is the (no longer maintained) Prepack project from Facebook. The core idea is to evaluate as much Javascript as possible at compile time, with the expectation that the result will probably be smaller (albeit less human readable) than the initial code.
-
[AskJS] Are there JS minifiers that can compress the code by storing and reusing repeating property/method names and strings?
It's no longer maintained, but I think prepack is roughly what you're looking for.
- Can something like typescript or elm be AOT-compiled efficiently?

React I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down
i've had code where it intentionally relied on the wrong behavior (missing hook dependencies) and when I fixed it it caused an unintentional bug (hook fired too often or sometimes infinite rerendering). Yes it is more of a bug in the code rather than React hooks issue but it is also really hard to fix/rewrite. while i'd love to jump on the hype train projects like https://github.com/facebookarchive/prepack and how concurrent mode is still experimental after five+ years doesn't give me a lot of confidence.

Memoirs of a lone JavaScript developer PART 2 : Svelte. An awful implementation of an old idea.
Some real examples in JavaScript can be seen on Prepack[2]. Consequently it is natural to wonder whether we can AOT compile components of client side frameworks, to achieve a reduction in the final bundle size, but also to increase application execution speed.

React 18 is now in beta
Less or more it’s likely to happen, and could have been expected 2-3 years ago.
Especially with https://github.com/facebook/prepack. They want to eventually ship pre-compiled components rather than React.createElement() to end user

Simplicity Is an Advantage but Sadly Complexity Sells Better
I built a full-stack JS framework [1] that I thought would be a hit. As best as I can tell, because it lacks the complexity/word salad of existing solutions, it's mostly been ignored despite being (imo) an elegant solution to a long-standing problem.

Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (April 2024)
SEEKING WORK, Tennessee, United States
Remote: Yes
I'm a full-stack, JavaScript/Node.js developer and designer. I'm the creator of the Joystick JavaScript framework [1], Push deployment service [2], and Mod CSS framework [3].
I also have experience with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB (limited but competent) and devops (K8s + Docker and bare-metal linux admin, the latter preferred for simplicity/stability).
Currently looking to take on clients who are open to using Joystick, Push, and Mod to design and develop their app. Because it's still at a pre-release version, I'm willing to work out deals around pricing to get some more test-cases under my belt. Ideal client is a solopreneur w/ funding or entrepreneur with previous experience + funding. Open to working with startups (early or established), but only on greenfield projects where use of Joystick is ok.
Email: [email protected].

Web Components Eliminate JavaScript Framework Lock-In
There is. I was frustrated by all of the chaos and built a solution [1]. Not too far of from an RC1 and then a 1.0 (which is being done slowly so I can freeze APIs and avoid the typical JS rug pulls).

We should start to add “ai.txt” as we do for “robots.txt”
I've been (slowly) writing a new type of OSS license around this exact concept so it's easier to (legally) stop LLMs hoovering up IP [1] (under "derivative works not permitted").
