I'm afraid of the lock-in too. Plus, even though the tools focus on speed and a shared interface, there are other requirements (like customization, and mature ecosystem). Setting up individual tools manually is not that difficult, and one needs do it like 1 time, then adjust on update.
Will it be available on GOG as well?
@npmx.dev is gaining popularity, and bundlephobia doesn't work anymore. Time to share a link to my template engine TypeScript library in the new tool. I hope it will be of use for someone.

Today I learned about contextual typing in TypeScript when trying to migrate from React's `FC<Props>` type to explicit `(props: Props) => ReactNode`. It highlighted some issues which weren't obvious before.

Maybe array normalization breaks the performance gains. I'm not sure if changing it to array back and having O(n) iteration complexity instead of O(1) is worth it.
Solid too. Performed worse than React for my case, though.

Amazed by how accurately Fear Factory predicted today’s fears 30 years ago.
That being said, even though I think Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, it is not an RPG IMHO, because there are no roles to be played and impactful/meaningful choices to be made.
It means that a miracle should happen from story-telling perspective for TES 6 to become something interesting, or it would remain just another action game with RPG mechanics.
I could only count less than 10 impactful choices in 300h (yes, it is not infinite), and it is still hard to deduce from them what kind of person your character is.
WotR gives you a TON of them in 400h to shape your character, and they become very distinctive. It is my litmus test for RPGs now.
After playing Pathfinder: WotR by @owlcatgames.bsky.social, I realized, that most of the "RPG" games I played before were just using RPG mechanics (like classes), but didn't give you enough choices, that could make characters/playthroughs feel different (the "role-play" part). Skyrim is one of them.
I don't use it, because Yarn works fine for me. Don't care much about speed, but I do care about correctness. In the thread, I tried them all, and pnpm also has issues with resolving optional peer dependencies, so you need to explicitly opt-in in not installing them.

Some of them can't handle optional peer dependencies properly. Others can't remove the garbage properly. Speed is not the only measure.

When using TypeScript's build mechanism, separate type imports do make the difference — the empty imports are removed.
But with Vite, there are no module imports in chunks, so in my example the size is exactly the same, and the build time is only 0.096s faster. So I stick with fewer imports.
Also, since with the separate type imports approach the type imports are completely removed, there are no accidental side effects kicking off if the imported module contains them. But I don't have modules with side effects, so it is not relevant.
The idea is with the separate type imports approach, the bundle size is smaller (because there are no empty imports left after removing the types), and the build is faster (because of the simplified decision algorithm).

Checked inline types vs. separate type imports and exports approaches ("import { type X, Y}" vs. "import type { X }, import { Y }") with "verbatimModuleSyntax" TypeScript setting on my pet project (React example): github.com/vasilii-kova...
Learned that from this discussion in Rome: github.com/rome/tools/i...
Thanks to thunks architecture, I was able to create a function to batch actions AND read from the draft.

I don't think it is even possible in other state managers. It would require sacrificing either code reusability or reading from the draft.
I keep my notes in Markdown files and edit/view them in VS Code, that highlights the syntax and can render the result.
node_modules after uninstalling all dependencies using different package managers (npm, Yarn, pnpm, and Bun). Yarn leaves it much cleaner than the others
Also, after uninstalling the last package, Yarn leaves `node_modules` much cleaner than the others. So I think I'll stick with it.
Yarn doesn't track and install peer dependencies by default. npm tracks them, but after the step 3 the lock file does become the same as on step 1.
Maybe it should be this way, and I just miss something. Please, let me know about what's the point of keeping the history of installs in the lock file.
The removed package won't be installed on fresh installs, but the lock file stays unnecessarily larger than it should be.
In pnpm, it helps to disable installing peer dependencies (setting `autoInstallPeers` to `false` in local/global config).
After step 3, the lock file won't be the same as on step 1 - the package is not removed from the top level.
Example:
1. Install `@tanstack/router-plugin`, which has an optional peer dependency to `@tanstack/react-router` (which is not installed since it is optional)
2. Install `@tanstack/react-router`
3. Remove `@tanstack/react-router`
Noticed today that @bun.sh doesn't remove dependencies in `node_modules` folder.
There is already a bug for it: github.com/oven-sh/bun/...
But what is more interesting is there is some mess in pnpm and Bun with optional peer dependencies.
Maybe a silly question, but do I understand correctly that the "TypeScript-to-Rust" communication overhead won't be a bottleneck at some point for @vite.dev with @rolldown.rs, because it is not "communicating" data back?
Trying AI on my pet projects.

In my experience, they are good at providing information
* From the libraries' docs
* About best practices
* About the project (inconsistencies, best practices, etc.)
At adding/changing code — not so much. So I mostly use the chat.
