SnapKit VS Benthos

SnapCode is actually using SnapKit (https://github.com/reportmill/SnapKit) which can run on either WebAPI/DOM (in browser) or Swing (desktop). In the browser this helps slim the download and improve performance by using more browser native code.

For pricing, SnapCode is free for individual use and will remain so. Perhaps there will be funding opportunities from large organizations or for embedding use cases to help provide for the continued health of the product and community.

The new kid on the block is SnapKit: https://github.com/reportmill/SnapKit

Theres a bit more to it than that, since you want resetUI to update all of your components without triggering respondUI(). And you want all your components to be automatically configured to call respondUI() when there is user interaction.

I’ve written one of these before, but I don’t have access to a public version anymore. I do all my current UI dev in a UI kit built on top of Swing. But here is what I use there that solves this problem:

I use SnapKit to do Java desktop development which compiles easily to JavaScript using TeaVM. SnapKit is both modern and conventional, a good middle ground between Swing and JavaFX. But most importantly, it combines the traditional win of desktop Java UI dev with the ease of web deployment.

I’ve used https://www.benthos.dev/ and it’s really easy and well implemented. The author is also very responsive

Looks cool. What is the difference between this tools and benthos (https://www.benthos.dev/)?

You might want to gradually replace that one with https://github.com/twmb/franz-go because Shopify is looking to find a new owner for Sarama and, until or if they do, it seems to be falling behind with maintenance: https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/issues/2461 For example, they still haven’t addressed this breaking change https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/issues/2358. franz-go has worked well so far in Benthos https://github.com/benthosdev/benthos/tree/main/internal/impl/kafka and it will likely end up as the only implementation once the Sarama-based one will be deprecated

I upload a mix of code reviews and live streams on https://www.youtube.com/@Jeffail, mostly building https://www.benthos.dev out in the open so the content ranges from beginner friendly stuff to more advanced things like stream processing, parser combinators, etc.
