I work at an Unity-adjacent company - Here's what's happening
  • A lot of those AAA unreal games are plagued woth performance issues and shader stutter on PC. Unreal has a lpt of good in there, but it's not all good. Nanite will only contribute in making games even larger than they already are.

    Are we ready for javascript without a build step on the front end in 2023?
  • I mean, I get what you're saying but with rust all that js code is auto generated and you can make a full app without writing a single line of js yourself.

  • That's litterally less step. It's just a comment above a function. How is that more steps?

    I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't mind build step but this is objectively less steps.

  • If you want type safety and no build step you do like svelte did and use jsdoc instead. You can run the typescript type checker on those annotations so if you care about not having a build step you can still have type safety.

  • That's actually a myth and real world performance isn't affected by this. See this video from leptos creator which is one of the more popular wasm ui framework https://youtu.be/4KtotxNAwME?si=D_vWV1LPQI-C9j8G

    The biggest issue is actually the size of the payload since you need to ship the entire app and language runtime.

    Which side are you? Javascript or Typescript
  • The main issue is that frontend is complicated and it can do a lot of very different things. Frameworks exist to solve some issues that may or may not exist in your project.

    The birth of JS
  • Also, a huge proportion of the list is just not understanding IEEE floats behaviour and blaming the language for it. Exactly like this post is doing. All those weird number things js does is because it only uses floats for everything and every language that uses floats will behave the exact same way.
