Answer to Blaze question on crater.io

Many of us want Blaze 2.0 and not Angular or React. Is MDG committed to continuing the development of Blaze? If so, how? Thanks!

TL;DR: I think the best thing to do is probably build Blaze 2.0 on top of the React rendering system to get a nice developer experience while taking advantage of new tech like React Native and the React component ecosystem.

Blaze is a very interesting part of the Meteor platform, from a platform point of view. Let's look at where we are now. Here are some of the benefits of Blaze:

Grab ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

It's a command line tool which means you will have to type things with your keyboard instead of clicking on buttons.

The most trivial operation would be converting gifs:

ffmpeg -i your_gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 12 -b:v 500K output.webm

-crf values can go from 4 to 63. Lower values mean better quality.
-b:v is the maximum allowed bitrate. Higher means better quality.

How to install PhantomJS on Ubuntu

	-- let's write a simple blog application. We will want to be able to:

	-- * Write and edit blog posts
	-- * Publish revisions of posts for public viewing
	-- * Delete posts
	-- * Add or remove tags to posts

	-- Let's start by creating a schema.

	object ScalaJSExample extends js.JSApp{

	val xs = Seq(1, 2, 3)
	println(xs.toString)
	val ys = Seq(4, 5, 6)
	println(ys.toString)
	val zs = for{
	x <- xs
	y <- ys
	} yield x * y

	test.isFalse(v, msg)
	test.isTrue(v, msg)
	test.equal(actual, expected, message, not)
	test.length(obj, len)
	test.include(s, v)
	test.isNaN(v, msg)
	test.isUndefined(v, msg)
	test.isNotNull
	test.isNull
	test.throws(func)

	// There are four main design concerns here:
	// * The API should abstract only DOM manipulations
	// — law of Do Just One Thing.
	// * The API should not allow plugins modifying jQuery,
	// these should be distinct modules/objects
	// — law of Modularity.
	// * The API should not use the DOM as a data model,
	// because this makes all operations inherently slow
	// — law of Orthogonality.
	// * The API should be simple, consistent and easy to use
