LiveScript VS Productivity Power Tools

Fun fact: LiveScript is a FP-oriented language which compiles to JavaScript. It's been around for a while now :-) https://livescript.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Too late. The name was taken when it was free. https://livescript.net/ (But seems inactive judging by GitHub). Actually a mostly quite nice little toy language. (Only the OOP part seems messed up a little bit; but besides that it looks quite clean). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I've been doing some research in this area: for day-to-day, quick and dirty, scripting purposes, if not Python, then what? I want something expressive: Python can be a bit verbose by default and isn't very good at oneliners. I want something that starts up fast, but can run a bit slower. It would be great if it had a REPL, but if compilation and/or startup are fast enough its lack would also be acceptable. The... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

LiveScript (https://livescript.net/) does this, amongst many other things (mostly CoffeeScript-inspired). I used it quite a bit and enjoyed it a lot. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

JavaScript is an extremely elegant language. It's syntax is relatively simple and extremely flexible. This has lead to things like CoffeeScript, LiveScript, and the explosion of transpiling. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

Prompt-tower simplifies and speeds-up how prompts with multiple code blocks are written. It's often a pain jumping between files, classes, functions, etc and copying/pasting everything, wrapping and annotating the blocks, and finally sending the prompt off for generation. After seeing filekitty [1], I felt inspired to build my version of the idea... Which is a vscode extension that fits better in a developer's... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

One of the first things we did when GPT-4 became available was talk to our Azure rep and get access to the OpenAI models that they'd partnered with Microsoft to host in Azure. Now, we have our own private, not-datamined (so they claim, contractually) API endpoint and we use an OpenAI integration in VS Code[1] to connect to, allowing anyone in the company to use it to help them code. I also spun up an internal chat... - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago

Sure I'd be happy to check it out, my email's in my profile (or Github/website). There are some tradeoffs w/ WebAssembly as well (not sharing the same memory as JS/TS is the biggest one) and debugging can be a bit tough as well though now there's a good VSCode plugin for it [0]. Another part of the reason I also moved back to C++ -> Wasm was for the performance improvement from Wasm vs. JS/TS, but the cross... - Source: Hacker News / 14 days ago
