Builder script for i3. Builds the latest i3 from the next branch and its prerequisites. Easily extendable should any dependency be missing from the list.

# The default developer packages from debian based distributions,

# easily extendible by inserting further packages into the
# BUILD array below.

IDE Scripting

Here are my attempts to script an IntelliJ-based IDE using javax.script.* API (ex-JSR-223).

The list of available scripting languages and engines:

  1. Groovy - built-in, via Groovy jars and <app>/lib/groovy-jsr223-xxx.jar
  2. JavaScript (Nashorn) - built-in, via Java Runtime <app>/jbr/... (deprecated and will be removed soon)
  3. JavaScript (GraalJS) - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12548-intellij-scripting-javascript
  4. JPython - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12471-intellij-scripting-python
  5. JRuby - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12549-intellij-scripting-ruby
  6. Clojure - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12469-intellij-scripting-clojure

Why I hate TypeScript

Warning: These views are highly oppinated and might have some slightly incorrect facts. My experience with typescript was about 2 weeks in Node and a week in angular2.

Not Standard

TypeScript is implementing their own take on JavaScript. Some of the things they are writing will likely never make it in an official ES* spec either.

Technologies that have competing spec / community driven development have a history of failing; take: Flash, SilverLight, CoffeeScript, the list goes on. If you have a large code base, picking TypeScript is something your going to be living with for a long time. I can take a bet in 3 years JavaScript will still be around without a doubt.

Its also worth noting that they have built some things like module system and as soon as the spec came out they ditched it and started using that. Have fun updating!

lodash/fp set and flow

lodash/fp - set / flow

In this gist we are going to learn about basic goodies that we get from the library lodash/fp (fp stands for functional programming, great for ensuring immutability).We'll learn just by doing (step by step guided sample + codepens).

We'll cover lodash set and flow functions

Steps

  • We'll use codepen as our playground, navigate to this page:

Interview Questions

Node.js

Q1: What do you mean by Asynchronous API? ☆☆

Answer: All APIs of Node.js library are aynchronous that is non-blocking. It essentially means a Node.js based server never waits for a API to return data. Server moves to next API after calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps server to get response from the previous API call.
