JavaScript Garden Analysis: How Rip Improves the Situation

JavaScript Garden documents the most notorious quirks and pitfalls of JavaScript. Here's a deep analysis of each section and how Rip eliminates or mitigates these problems.

1. Equality (== vs ===) — Eliminated

JavaScript Garden calls == a source of "hard-to-track-down bugs" due to type coercion. Rip solves this at the language level with two mechanisms:

Zig 0.15.x → 0.16.0 Migration — Quickstart Kit

This file is a turn-key quickstart for pointing an AI (or yourself) at a Zig codebase that needs a 0.15.x → 0.16.0 migration. It's small on purpose. The actual reference material lives in ZIG-0.16.0.md (1,800+ lines of changelog, patterns, decoder tables, and workflow playbook distilled from a real end-to-end port).

What this kit is and isn't

It IS: A field-tested migration playbook that took a ~7,300-line Zig 0.15.2 parser generator to 0.16.0 in one session. Tests passed 40/40 afterwards. Performance went up (187s → 1.73s test runtime). It captures both the API changes and the surprises that aren't obvious from release notes alone — most importantly, std.heap.DebugAllocator's up-to-1400× slowdown on allocator-heavy workloads in Debug builds.

CYW43439 PMKSA Research — verified findings

Purpose. This is the pre-Phase-3 research artifact mandated by docs/CYW43-REWRITE.md §5.9.2. It documents the exact iovar, wire-format, chip-compatibility, and reliability-context for PMKSA cache management on the CYW43439 chip as used in Raspberry Pi Pico W.

Status. Produced 2026-04-20 from first-party sources (Linux kernel tree, pico-sdk issue tracker, cyw43-driver upstream). Sign-off for Phase 3 PMKSA coding: ready.
