Mark Zuckerberg tells staff that AI agents haven't progressed enough
> Architectural decisions are not lintable.
I made a tool called ProjectLint to lint architectural decisions and anything that ESLint and ArchUnit and others like that wouldn't be a good fit for. It's not public yet, but is fairly rudimentary and based on Go + goja: https://github.com/dop251/goja
You write rules in ESLint, it makes sure that they're followed. If it's a file in your repo, it can obviously be checked. Now whether you can describe your architecture well enough to lint it (at least the stuff you care about enforcing), that's a different question.

RaTeX: KaTeX-compatible LaTeX rendering engine in pure Rust
We recently switched from Node.js + Mathjax for rendering latex to Goja (https://github.com/dop251/goja) + Mathjax, and surprisingly it worked really well. We did this because the app is already 99% golang, and this allows us to eliminate the remaining non-go pieces like Node.js. And yes, we tried go-latex, but it's not nearly as feature complete as Mathjax.

Be intentional about how AI changes your codebase
I've been writing my own linter that's supposed to check projects regardless of the technology (e.g. something that focuses on architecture and conventions, alongside something like Oxlint/Oxfmt and Ruff and so on), with Go and goja: https://github.com/dop251/goja
Basically just a bunch of .js rules that are executed like:
projectlint run --rules-at ./projectlint-rules ./src -
JavaScript engines zoo – Compare every JavaScript engine
I looked at goja [1] as that's a pure Go engine that's advertising only as ES5. ES6 modules seem to have been implemented only in the sobek fork [2] so there's some hurdles of using it in practice right now.
The detailed report [3] is quite nice tbh, I think that would be some nice document to refer to.

Move on to ESM-Only
And yes I know that Grafana has a fork called Sobek that has ESM support, but it is tailored for k6 and they don't have plans for making it easier to use. [2]

TrailBase: Fast & Open FireBase alternative
The benchmark sets up a custom HTTP endpoint /fibonacci?n= using the same slow recursive Fibonacci implementation for both, PocketBase and TrailBase. This is meant as a proxy for a computationally heavy workload to primarily benchmark the performance of the underlying JavaScript engines: goja for PocketBase and V8 for TrailBase. In other words, the impact of any overhead within PocketBase or TrailBase is diminished by the time it takes to compute fibonacci(N) for sufficiently large N.
