This doesn't seem overly useful.
It's a list taken out of a bunch of books with no regard for how something can be the best path in one language and a smell in another language.
Look at this page for example: https://luzkan.github.io/smells/imperative-loops
It suggests using functional loop methods (.map()
, .reduce()
, .filter()
) instead of using imperative loops (for
, for in
, for each
) but completely disregards the facts that imperative loops also have access to the break
, continue
, and return
keywords to improve performance.
For example: If I have an unsorted list of 1000 cars which includes a whole bunch of information per car (e.g. color, year manufactured, etc...), and I want to know if there were any cars were manufactured before the year 1980, I can run an imperative loop through the list and early return true if I find one, and only returning false if I haven't found one by the end of the list.
If the third car was made in 1977, then I have only iterated through 3 cars to find my answer.
But if I were to try this with only functional loops, I would have to iterate through all 1000 cars before I had my answer.
A website with blind rules like this is going to lead to worse code.
QOI is just a format that's easy for a programmer to get their head around.
It's not designed for everyday use and hardware optimization like jpeg-xl is.
You're most likely to see QOI in homebrewed game engines.
The syntax is only difficult to read in their example.
I fixed their example here: https://programming.dev/comment/12087783
I fixed it for you (markdown tables support padding to make them easy to read):
markdown | table |
---|---|
x | y |
|markdown|table|
|--------|-----|
|x |y |
I'm under the impression that there's two reasons we don't have it in chromium yet:
Google already wrote the wuffs language which is specifically designed to handle formats in a fast and safe way but it looks like it only has one dedicated maintainer which means it's still stuck on a bus factor of 1.
Honestly, Google or Microsoft should just make a team to work on a jpg-xl library in wuffs while adobe should make a team to work on a jpg-xl library in rust/zig.
That way everyone will be happy, we will have two solid implementations, and they'll both be made focussing on their own features/extensions first so we'll all have a choice among libraries for different needs (e.g. browser lib focusing on fast decode, creative suite lib for optimised encode).
You should put this in codepen so people don't need to clone a repo to see it.
For example, here's a 3d css-only thing I was fiddling with: https://codepen.io/spartanatreyu/pen/yPyNjw?editors=0100
You keep saying "relevance", and now other things like "gimmick" and "marketing".
Why are you so focused on "relevance"?
They're completely unrelated to Deno.
Node had problems, ts-node had problems, Deno fixes those problems for developers.
Separately, Bun trades solving some problems for solving other problems.
Developers are free to choose between runtimes based on what problems they encounter.
Personally I use node for existing web projects and deno for data processing and to compile scripts into redistributable binaries.
