[AskJS] Why does our community hate Operator Overloading?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/javascript

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • proposal-operator-overloading

    I'm not sure who hates it, but I have seen it abused (which people don't like). But, quickjs has it now, and there's a proposal to have it added to the JS spec. The proposal is only stage 1, so who knows what will happen with it or when, but its not counted out.

  • quickjs

    Public repository of the QuickJS Javascript Engine.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • proposal-pattern-matching

    Pattern matching syntax for ECMAScript

    While pattern-matching doesn't exist in the language yet, there are many libraries on NPM for it, and it looks applicable for your own use-cases. (Full disclosure: The above example is from my own.)

  • match-iz

    A tiny pattern-matching library in the style of the TC39 proposal.

  • ohm

    A library and language for building parsers, interpreters, compilers, etc.

    One more suggestion: Maybe create your own scripting-language using Ohm? The project works in JavaScript, so whatever you created would sit on top of your existing APIs.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
