The dangers of single line regular expressions
`$` does mean end of input in Java, unless you explicitly ask for multiline mode. In the latter case it means `(?=$|\n)` if also in Unix-lines mode, and the horrible `(?=$|(?I wrote a compiler from Java regex to JavaScript RegExp, in which you'll find that particular compilation scheme [1].

Rust on Espressif chips – 2023 Roadmap
> Scala choices were directly dictated by JVM
Initially, yes. But Scala has evolved beyond the JVM, with Scala.js [1] being rock-solid, and Scala Native [2] under development. Neither are truly hampered by the initial JVM roots of Scala.
> Scala gives you a better horse
Weird analogy ;)

Looking for an alternative to Javascript
Have you had a look at Scala.js yet? Also see "Scala.js for JavaScript developers." and "Tour of Scala."

Contrary to popular belief, Scala is actually a quite small and simple language
What does that have to do with language size? It also compiles to js https://www.scala-js.org/ and native https://scala-native.org/en/stable/

Switch JS job for Scala internship?
Here's a hybrid option: Scala.js. Yes, it is about building web applications but in Scala. You can retain the HTML/CSS/JS knowledge you have but build web applications from a typesafe and powerful language: Scala

Dropping Scala 2.11 support in Scala.js and Scala Native
The compiler crash in question affects another feature that we would like to merge for the benefit of all users, namely https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/pull/4735. Keeping 2.11 means that testing and shipping that feature is much more difficult, even for 2.12+ users only. It's not just "to fix a compiler crash".

Windows decide whether your computer has limited or full Internet access
TS is more in the "mixed feelings" department, imho.
I would take Scala.js anytime instead. (If I would need to do front-end ever again).

PWAs wont replace native iOS apps
Anyone have experience with/opinions on Apache Cordova? [1]
It seems like it would solve most of the PWA issues. Although I vaguely recall reading that Apple is not too fond of apps that are basically just wrapped web views.

Why does everyone "suddenly" hate Single Page Apps?
A little over a decade ago, I worked on the open-source project Apache Cordova/Adobe PhoneGap, first at IBM and later at Adobe. Apache Cordova enables you to build mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript while targeting multiple platforms with one code base. In today’s technology landscape, mobile is dominated by iOS and Android. In the early 2010’s we were awash in mobile platforms from BlackBerry, Microsoft, Firefox, Tizen, etc. Targeting multiple platforms, including the web, from one codebase was a game changer for overworked development teams.

The right way to build multi platform apps in 2023 using web tech. ?
There are layers that offer access to native APIs like capacitor, cordova and nativescript. Apparently sometimes multiple of them should be used, but I didn't understand what are the differences even after reading the announcement. These seem to be frontend agnostic technologies and Capacitor is apparently the more modern choice at the moment.

How to bypass mobile app review thanks to Capacitor, Ionic, and micro frontends 🤯
To be honest, we have not only Capacitor but also Cordova which Capacitor is based on but because Capacitor is more popular, has better community, deals with some problems better, and works beautifully with Ionic Framework I will tell more in a second, I simply recommend Capacitor.

Wrapping WebApp inside a WebView
Apache Cordova is an example of this. It is also useful if you need to access native code (the camera, database, etc), or to use just as a WebView Container as an application to deploy to the Play store/ App Store
