Swift and SwiftUI are the Butterfly Keyboard of Apple software.
What if the reason dynamic languages are so suitable (even necessary) for component composition / scripting is not because we actually need dynamism for that.
But because dynamism lets us work around the fact that our model(s) for composition are wrong.
Brent SimmonsOn my blog: “And it seems retro in the worst way that we’re still using anything other than a scripting language for most of our code. We should be using something simple and light that can configure toolbars, handle networking callbacks, query databases, manage views, and so on.”
AI removes the human bottlenecks that once kept bad code in check.
I am starting to see the need for a stdout that always appends a newline at the end, so println: but on the object side.
What should this be called?
stdline
lineout

Just benchmarked my PWS variant of the channel-sieve against Go’s CSP-based one.
As suspected, mine is 3-4 times faster and uses 20-30 less CPU.
Even with Go’s highly optimized goroutines + IPC channels, the multiprocessing overhead is just too high.
My “HTMX-Native” shim for connecting HTMX directly to an Objective-S store in-process now works on macOS, iOS and Android.
I love it when a plan comes together.
It looks like I won't have to patch htmx.js after all in order to get PUT/POST/DELETE to work with local WebViews. JavaScript is really very, very monkey-patchable.
It's really weird that local WebViews are so limited. On Android, nothing with a body at all. On macOS/iOS, only POST gets a body, PUT does not.
So now I have my own channel.
