Bun hype. How we learned nothing from Yarn

Here we go again, making the same mistake. I'm constantly reminded that every 5 years the amount of...

DEV Community

@brianleroux I really liked the fork of io.js what we got in the end was so much better node v4 was way beyond 0.12 the previous release. I’m also not convinced and npm would’ve gotten as good as it did without yarn. The tribalism and the incompatibilities are troubling. But the years it took npm to catch up are probably why yarn never shut down. Deno on the other hand has made node better, but I’m not tapped into its trajectory. It’s absolutely not like io.js.

Bun seems like a toy tbh

@reconbot @brianleroux whooooosh! I'd totally forgotten about iojs. ....am I.... old?

@reconbot @morgan didn't remember that but looking around I did find this which is way awesome anyways http://www.openrails.org/

Together: The Merb Story

I'll never forget the day that I became a member of the Rails core team. For all of 2008 (and the better part of 2007), I was working on a competitor to Ruby on Rails called Merb. I loved Merb, and was excited to share it with anyone who'd listen,

Katz Got Your Tongue
@reconbot @morgan oh THAT. Merb was many years before io.js thing and the merge was a complete disaster so...idk. it's why I left rails community.
@brianleroux @morgan oh lol I was on the edges of it, I remember thinking "oh I have new features that people are happier about? great"
@reconbot @morgan that 2.3 to 3 migration was exactly when I became serious about stability πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­
