Building a syntax highlighting extension for VS Code
I spent a few days of my spare time building a VS Code extension that would bring better syntax highlighting for the Slim template language to the editor. I quite enjoyed most of the process so I’d like to share what I learned.

Rails 7.1 Released
I think they mean Server Side Rendering (normal rails controllers/views), and Slim is just the name of the templating engine. It's a little nicer than the default ERB. https://github.com/slim-template/slim
There's also SSR with react and other js frameworks, but I don't think that's what they meant.

How to build a website without frameworks and tons of libraries
I use something very similar on https://lunar.fyi and https://lowtechguys.com but I wouldn’t call this “simple” anymore.
They use Jinja templating, I prefer Slim (https://github.com/slim-template/slim#syntax-example) which has a more Pythonic syntax (there is plim [0] in Python for that)
I use Tailwind as well for terse styling and fast experimentation (allows me to write a darkMode-aware and responsive 100 line CSS in a single line with about 10 classes)
For interaction I can write CoffeeScript directly in the page [1] and have it compiled by plim.
I run a Caddy static server [2] and use Syncthing [3] to have every file save deployed instantly to my Hetzner server.
I use entr [4] and livereloadx [5] to rebuild the pages and do hot reload on file save. All the commands are managed in a simple Makefile [6]

You can already see how the footnotes take up a large chunk of this comment, this is not my idea of simple. Sure, the end result is readable static HTML and I never have to fight obscure React errors, but it’s a high effort setup for starters.
Simple for me would be: write markdown files for pages, a simple CSS for general styling (should be optional), click to deploy on my domain. Images should automatically be resized to multiple sizes and optimized, videos re-encoded for smaller filesize etc.
I have mostly implemented that for myself (https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/How%20I%20write%20this%20blog...) but it feels fragile. I’d rather pay for a professional solution.

Do Modern Programming Languages Have to Care About Line Length?
Checkout slim https://github.com/slim-template/slim it's a templating language

Hotwire Question - Controller Lifecycle
And this is what the HTML looks like (I'm using slim):

How to use View Transitions in Hotwire Turbo
The template renders the tag and inside it the link and the counter itself (the Slim template language and Tailwind styling are used here, hopefully the notation is sufficiently self-explaining):

Slim: A HTML Templating Language
In this part of the series, let's explore another popular templating language, Slim.
-
Pug: A HTML Templating Language
Templating languages are widely used in Web development and two of the most popular ones are Pug and Slim. In this series, we're going to learn the basics of these two and hopefully they would help improve your workflow further.
-
Template Engine with percent sign in Rails?
You may want to checkout slim I'v tried ERB, SLIM, and HAML and absolutely sware by slim it's very easy to use and saves a ton of typing compared to ERB.

Styling Simple Form forms with Tailwind
This config sets a ”medium“ font weight for our form labels by default. Now, suppose we want a specific input’s label to be bold instead, we might want to try the following naive approach (we’re using the Slim template notation here):

XL: An Extensible Programming Language
IMO, there’s a wide unexplored design space between the minimalism of Lisp and richness of other languages. A programming language inspired by something like KDL (https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl) has the potential to be in a very sweet spot between the two. "Everything is a node" instead of "everything is a list" is only slightly more complicated, but also vastly more readable that a soup of parenthesis.

Parsing JSON is a Minefield 💣 (2018)
Either way I've got high hopes for KDL becoming the new gold standard for clean, flexible data formats that are editable by hand.

The KDL Document Language
I'd love to understand why all the advertised implementations have permissive licenses except for the Rust implementation, which is released under the Parity Public License 7.0.0 [1]? This seems to be as restrictive as the GPL, no?
In my mind, copyleft licenses applied to infrastructural projects like kdl-rs prematurely limits their adoption and promotes the development of alternatives with more permissive licensing, since the spec is released under a Creative Commons license [2].
