• 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 () {.

• PysimpleGUI

  Xojo is basically VB6's spiritual successor. https://xojo.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Why did Visual Basic die?

  For anyone looking for a modern alternative to Visual Basic, you might want to take a look at Xojo. Xojo's a rapid application development platform (both a language and an IDE) that you can use to develop desktop apps (for macOS, Windows, Linux), Web apps, mobile apps (for iOS and Android), as well as console apps. It's been around for more than 20 years, and some of you might remember it from back when it was... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Small Visual Basic

  I really recommend Xojo[1] (formally RealBasic). It’s like a modern VB6 but runs on macOS, Windows and many flavours of Linux. It has very polished drag and drop UI editor. I’ve been developing with it for over 20 years and my 10 year old daughter is now learning programming with it. You can create and debug apps for free and only need a license to deploy an app as a binary so it’s ideal to learn with. Heck, it... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Do any of you code with/on steno?

  I have yet to get into actual programming, but when I do, it will probably be with the multi-platform programming environment called XoJo. Source: over 1 year ago

• Performance Improvements in .NET 6

  I've been using Xojo (https://xojo.com) for about 15 years now to make cross-platform GUI apps. The language is similar to VB6 but it's been constantly updated. No affiliation, just a happy customer. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
