ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @ashley-c.bsky.social from TechAtBloomberg on advancing the Composites proposal to Stage 2 at @tc39.es today 🎉 Composites are objects that are compared by value instead of identity. They are an evolution of Record & Tuple proposal.

const pos1 = Composite({ x: 1, y: 4 });
const pos2 = Composite({ x: 1, y: 4 });
pos1 === pos2; // true

const positions = new Set(); // the standard ES Set
positions.add(pos1);
positions.has(pos2); // true

I hate that LLMs mean I can't trust anything any more. I'll get something I previously would have viewed as a thoughtfully written bug report/PR and now it's "this might just be very professional-looking bullshit"

One cool thing we're doing at @jazz.tools is reimagining migrations. Instead of migrating your data, you tell clients how to read it, inspired by @inkandswitch.com's Cambria paper. Last week I built this interactive diagram to show how it works. Check it out in our docs: jazz.tools/docs/schemas...

two upcoming javascript proposals i'm really excited about: - module declarations will let you define multiple javascript modules inline within a single file (github.com/tc39/proposa...) - module expressions will let you create workers without requiring a separate file (github.com/tc39/proposa...)

// module-declarations.js

module countModule {
let i = 0;

export function count() {
i++;
return i;
}
}

export module uppercaseModule {
export function uppercase(string) {
return string.toUpperCase();
}
}

import { count } from countModule;
import { uppercase } from uppercaseModule;

console.log(count()); // 1
console.log(uppercase("jake")); // "JAKE"

// module-expressions.js

let workerModule = module {
onmessage = async function({data}) {
let mod = await import(data);
postMessage(mod.default());
}
};

let worker = new Worker({type: "module"});
worker.addModule(workerModule);
worker.onmessage = ({data}) => alert(data);
worker.postMessage(module {
export default function() { return "hello!" }
});

Yet another AI telling me individual transform properties don't exist...

Side note (for the pedantic reader): rotate: x … isn’t a real CSS property—normally you’d write transform: rotateX(…). If you keep the demo as‑is, browsers will just ignore that line, which is probably not what you want. But that’s a technical footnote you can address later when you actually flesh out the code.

To rely on LLMs as a source of knowledge in a constantly changing, unpredictable, and chaotic world is nuts to me. To reduce discovery of knowledge to what was scraped at some past snapshot in time, and assume it’s an accurate portrayal of the world right now? Seems like a huge loss.
