I generally check-in just the Ć source and not the translations, but if you want a quick look at the generated C code, here's some: https://sourceforge.net/p/asap/code/ci/master/tree/asap.c

> if there's a error/bug in the generated code am I actually going to debug and parse it effectively? Generated code may be "readable" but it is it understandable?

I had no problems with that so far. Nim adds a lot of boilerplate code in C output. cito sometimes adds a few lines here and there, but mostly it looks like the code you would write directly.

• JHipster

  63 21,214 10.0 Java

  JHipster, much like Spring initializr, is a generator to create a boilerplate backend application, but also with an integrated front end implementation in React, Vue or Angular. In their own words, it "Is a development platform to quickly generate, develop, & deploy modern web applications & microservice architectures."

  

Not talking about the interesting naming or the circumstances around this particular implementation, what do the people on HN think about the concept of such transpilation?

I recall taking a course in university about model driven programming - the idea of creating an abstract representation of logic, interfaces and other system components and then generating either full implementations or stubs in multiple languages was an interesting one, even if implementations were really hard to get right.

In practice, i've mostly only seen one language specific model driven design tools, like JHipster (https://www.jhipster.tech/) or the likes of JPA be reasonably successful, since there's a lot of problems with supporting abstractions across different languages and runtimes, but what has been the experience of others in that regard?

All: I understand that when a post like this shows up, everyone's first reflex is to react to the name. However, reflexive reactions like that tend to be shallow and to lead to boring, generic discussion. Here we're going for reflective discussion, not reflexive—which takes longer but ends up being less predictable and therefore more interesting.

As a community, we're learning to let the quickest, shallowest reactions go, and wait for the more interesting ones to show up. In the case of post like this, that would mean focusing on the details of the language. It's not that names are irrelevant, but we shouldn't focus on the surface at the expense of the depth; that leads to exciting-in-the-short-run-but-boring-in-the-long-run results.

  UNIC: Unicode and Internationalization Crates for Rust

  

I try to be mindful of making my software as accessible as possible, but the following

> creating a lookup table for all the unicode material out there might've been considered impractical or performance-hitting for the developers.

just doesn't ring true to me in any way for current software. I understand that people can be using older software, which is why I strive to restrict myself to ASCII as much as possible for the widest possible support for my users, but my software also supports unicode identifiers, up to and including a whole unicode table to talk about confusables[1]. And not all TTS software "ignores" characters, which is why people advice against using 𝑓𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑦 unicode because it doesn't get read as text but instead each character is described individually. (This is also something that TTS software should support for their users' sake, but I digress.)
