Everything will be great!
"pixel-perfect" designing for websites is an anti-pattern.

Thank you to @manishearth.bsky.social and @jason-williams.co.uk for working to get temporal in v8. I am looking forward to never having to use the js date class again
ECMAScript excitement 😉

Congrats to @manishearth.bsky.social on unflagging TC39 Stage 3 Temporal in V8 today. Heading for Chrome 144 🎉

By many metrics this new date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥

V8 uses Boa's temporal_rs by @jason-williams.co.uk Kevin Ness & Manish 👍

This is the best argument for string directives I have seen.

I still wish we had a better way to tell developers and computers that this code runs differently than "normal" JavaScript. String directives seem like the best way we have.

Great work @danabra.mov
aargh someone kill me. literally THE WHOLE POINT of directives is that they’re not just strings!

they’re syntactically attached to the scope (function or module) in a way that’s reflected in AST.

and both RSC and Next.js ones act at module boundary which is kinda gross for decorators or API calls

This is amazing!
In the latest version of @rolldown.rs, JSON imports are tree-shaken!

No more superfluous JSON values in your bundle, only these that you actually access. Without any change of code or config ✨

Interested in the code? Then check out the PR! github.com/rolldown/rol...
