• Gov.uk drops jQuery from their front end

  Yes, and if you continue long enough you end up with one of the many jQuery alternatives, like mine: https://umbrellajs.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Should I even bother with React?

  If you're learning React just to get a job, you're doing it wrong, since recruiters are always changing their requirements. They will add `proficient in Svelte` just to annoy you, (after having learning React) and now you're no longer relevant to them. That's why I say: stick to the baseline of HTML, CSS, & JS. Learn to write vanilla JS for common things, maybe learn UmbrellaJS[0] for syntactic sugar and... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Make Front End Shit Again

  I still use jQuery but https://umbrellajs.com too. And native DOM API as well. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Show HN: Auto-generate vanilla JavaScript alternatives for jQuery methods

  I made a tiny alternative a while back called Umbrella JS: https://umbrellajs.com/ Seeing methods like addClass in "replace-jquery", I'm not fully satisfied. I could make Umbrella JS tiny (1/2 of the alternative listed elsewhere in the thread, Cash, and 10% the size of jQuery) because of heavy method reusal. For instance, in Umbrella JS addClass is just:

      u.prototype.addClass = function () {.

• Wax compiler – a tiny language designed to transpile to other languages

  This remineds me of Haxe[1]. I like Wax better because of the Common-Lisp-like syntax. [1]: https://haxe.org. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Marimo: Interactive Fluffy Ball

  I thought this was a three.js demo but it's actually built with a language called haxe [1]. I've never heard of this language before and looks really cool. Makes me want to play with it! [1] https://haxe.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?

  The Haxe programming language (https://haxe.org/). It's insane how unpopular this is compared to its value. "Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash, and allows access to each platform's native capabilities. Haxe has its own VMs (HashLink and NekoVM) but can also run in interpreted mode." It's mostly popular in game dev circles, and is used by:... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• One Game, by One Man, on Six Platforms: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

  For those interested in cross platform game development, don't forget https://haxe.org/! The usefulness / popularity ratio is very high on this one :). - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• TC39 Proposal: Types as Comments

  I really enjoyed programming in AS3, and https://haxe.org/ was really helpful at the time to make development easier. Source: 12 months ago
