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

At this rate, "port TypeScript to your favorite language" is going to become a standard code golf exercise & metric for LLMs.

It's convenient as all heck. Both in terms of devex (just writing classes) and providing niceties (defaults + docs). This is >>>> more positively impactful than the vast majority of the things other options espouse.

I finally got around to making a shared lib for "is this a valid React (component|hook) name?" utilities: github.com/JoshuaKGoldb... This gets reimplemented a lot in dev tooling code, like linter plugins that operate on React things. Hopefully this should save some folks some time! 📛
