‪“‬In what way is JS any more maintainable than CSS? How does writing CSS in JS make it any more maintainable?”

‪Happy to chat about this. There’s an obvious disclaimer that there’s a cost to css-in-js solutions, but that cost is paid specifically for the benefits it brings; as such it’s useful for some usecases, and not meant as a replacement for all workflows. ‬

‪(These conversations always get heated on twitter, so please believe that I’m here to converse, not to convince. In return, I promise to listen to you too and change my opinions; I’ve had mad respect for you for years and would consider your feedback a gift. Also, some of the stuff I’m writing might seem obvious to you; I’m not trying to tell you if all people of some of the details, but it might be useful to someone else who bumps into this who doesn’t have context)‬

So the big deal about css-in-js (cij) is selectors.

Note: I'm not involved in Prepack in any way — please correct me if I say anything incorrect below!

A few people have asked me if Prepack and Svelte are similar projects with similar goals. The answer is 'no, they're not', but let's take a moment to explore why.

What is Prepack?

Prepack describes itself as a 'partial evaluator for JavaScript'. What that means is that it will run your code in a specialised interpreter that, rather than having some effect on the world (like printing a message to the console), will track the effects that would have happened and express them more directly.

So for example if you give it this code...

Counter Examples

Moved to omg-counters

This is a collection of increment/decrement counters using various frontend frameworks.

The increment/decrement counter is the step between a hello world example and a todo app. Please note that the examples are supposed to be as minimal as possible.

So far we have the following:

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

Array Iteration

https://gist.github.com/ljharb/58faf1cfcb4e6808f74aae4ef7944cff

While attempting to explain JavaScript's reduce method on arrays, conceptually, I came up with the following - hopefully it's helpful; happy to tweak it if anyone has suggestions.

Intro

JavaScript Arrays have lots of built in methods on their prototype. Some of them mutate - ie, they change the underlying array in-place. Luckily, most of them do not - they instead return an entirely distinct array. Since arrays are conceptually a contiguous list of items, it helps code clarity and maintainability a lot to be able to operate on them in a "functional" way. (I'll also insist on referring to an array as a "list" - although in some languages, List is a native data type, in JS and this post, I'm referring to the concept. Everywhere I use the word "list" you can assume I'm talking about a JS Array) This means, to perform a single operation on the list as a whole ("atomically"), and to return a new list - thus making it mu
