1. Pipes are apparently in limbo because we keep arguing as a community
2. Pattern matching seems pretty non-controversial. What’s holding it up? Flow even shipped it!
3. Shared immutable data across workers is hard so I get it, but we could at least ship something in the meantime?

Learn Solid.js people. Svelte and Solid are essentially the same with different syntax and IMO JSX > Svelte syntax.
Sounds like I should take a look at Solid! 😅

React used to show state-less components before hooks. Remix only show prop-less components.

I really don’t like remix’s component api, but I wouldn’t say we’re going back to imperative rendering like backbone. It’s still declarative in the way that UI = fn(state)
You just have to call the fn manually. It’s not reactive anymore. Still declarative though.

React vs Remix - Do we really want to move back to imperative re-renders?
As far as I remember, we already tried that
See, for example, this BackboneJS counter

Even though I’ve long known about all the new syntax for colours I use the new features and don’t care about the new syntax.
So usually, I’ll use the shiny new features such as relative colors with a fallback. And for the fallback, I almost always still reach for the rgba()/hsla()

Ok, I'll retract this statement, as it seems *a lot* of people still use rgba() and hsla().
Instead, I will recommend anyone who uses hsla() or rgba() to read this article, as even the comma-separated syntax is now legacy.

Equal parts impressed with how nice and powerful CSS is and disappointed at how much I dislike the design!
so much you can do in css using pseudo classes. used `:has` pseudo class to make the full hover animation here.
for hover state im doing `:has(*:is(.sidebar-icon-trigger:hover`
made only using css. no js listener used. took me longer than i thought it would.

Ppl Thoughts on remix 3:
- the event APIs are good. A single “on” prop makes a lot of sense. Funnily enough, it Feels like a router!
- the “router” API is good with some obligatory boilerplate. It’s usually worth it but developers will be turned off by it.

This proposal would let us go back to a world where we don’t need bundlers but just concatenation.
Vite unbundled mode kinda sucks.
This would give us the build time benefits without the network request overhead.

A simple line of modern CSS to create a conditional Border Radius. The value will adjust based on either the container width or screen width.
