In what way does the UK have "considerably more rights and freedoms" than the US?

I've used Zapatos and can vouch for its effectiveness. It doesn't bind you into any specific way of setting up your database or defining models, but provides an extremely easy way to integrate with other TS libraries in order to get typed queries.

Thank you for your incredible work on this.

This is an extremely strong set of features in one language. All the best in this project!

Would love to read about some examples / strategies in a blog post some day!

Yes, and since typing is only at compile time, it's also missing some of the extremely convenient pattern matching syntax that I love from Haskell, Rust, Scala, etc....

Despite some downside, I'm a huge fan overall though. I haven't tried ReasonML or ReScript, but compared to bare JS, TypeScript makes frontend programming a lot more enjoyable to me.

Recent updates in TypeScript have also made ADTs much better to use and make expressing business logic in a statically safe way. It's incredible how much mental overhead that good typing systems (and good utilization of them) can save you when navigating complex code bases.

The more time you spend on this site the more you realize that it is not immune to the same problem that other sites have of people acting as if they have something insightful to say when they're just regurgitating common talking points.

The few contrarian opionions typically get buried here, althougn not hidden or lost in a massive sea like Reddit for the most part.

This place is better to glean insight from the more technical threads or the ocassional debates that don't immediately devolve into emotional appeals.

The fact that it's been well over 3 years since the introduction of hooks in React and people still don't understand how to use them makes me very worried for frontend development.

Really looking forward to server components.

This looks really cool. It would be nice to see some benchmarks against something like electron to see how they compare performance-wise for end users.

This is really interesting. Would you mind sharing a bit about how you keep the data that is shared across services in sync? Or is there a hard separation of concerns so that services would only commuincate with the service that owns that data to obtain it?

Fantastic article. This kind of insight into how people break down complicated problems into more manageable pieces is extremely valuable.

This looks fantastic! Looking forward to diving in a bit deeper.

They do based on what I've seen, you're right. I'm speaking more to the consistency of styling across the project, but if the UI library is separated out from the rest of the project then it shouldn't actually be a concern to compose the components with tailwind-styled elements.

Thanks for helping me think through it further!

Thanks for these ideas! The react-aria seems quite interesting to develop a UI library library using Tailwind-styled elements while accounting for accessibility.
