Am I the only one who found the options to this question confusing? None of these is consistent with the TS39 "Type Annotations" (aka "Types as Comments") proposal. Erasable types should be _ignored_ (like comments) at runtime. Also… please take the survey! 🚀 #JavaScript #TypeScript #StateOfJS

Screenshot of State of JavaScript Survey question regarding types:

How would you like to see types implemented natively in JavaScript?
• Runtime types: Types that are parsed at runtime by the browser.
• Type annotations: Compiler-level TypeScript-like type annotations that get stripped during bundling.
• JSDoc-like types: JSDoc-like types written as code comments.
• I would not like to see them implemented
• Other…

3+ months since Svelte Summit … missing Spain … made Tortilla Española 🇪🇸. Not that difficult tbh (except maybe "the flip" 😅), and soooo worth it 😋. #SvelteSummit #Spain

A golden-brown tortilla española on a white plate, sitting on a red and white checkered tablecloth. The thick Spanish potato omelet has a beautifully cooked surface with characteristic wrinkles and golden coloring.

A plated serving of tortilla española cut into a wedge, accompanied by a slice of bread topped with red tomato spread and a small salad of fresh arugula greens. The meal is presented on a white plate on an outdoor dining table.

Request for comments… The TSTFU Principle: 90% of coding in TypeScript is writing code that works. The other 90% is convincing the type checker to STFU. #TypeScript #DevLife #Svelte | CC: @gazit.me, @jyc.dev, @michaelaufreiter.com

Venn-pie chart showing TypeScript development time: two overlapping 90% sections labeled 'working code' and 'type checker STFU', with most of the circle showing blended colors representing simultaneous effort on both tasks.

Fantastic post. The best take I've read on vibe coding. "The worst possible situation is to have a non-programmer vibe code a large project that they intend to maintain. This would be the equivalent of giving a credit card to a child without first explaining the concept of debt." #vibecoding

Senators voting "yea" on the Big Beautiful Bill(ionaire Bonanza) and Rescissions Act (Ruthlessly Eliminating Compassionate Services) represent just 44% and 46% of US population respectively (GovTrack.us). Tragic to see such wanton harm to the US/world's most vulnerable through minority rule.

On its surface, this sounds like a glorious innovation. Alas, upon further reflection, I am troubled. These "remote functions" could arguably be called "severance barrier transgressors" – providing a direct innie/outie communication channel. Lumon views all such reintegration efforts as anathema. 𝍋

Where would MDR be without Svelte? Sputtering along on a "virtual DOM"?? Lumon expresses gratitude to @rich-harris.dev and the Svelte community for eliminating developer suffering. May more experience the joy of truly refined, un-severed web development. #svelte #severance #lumonislistening
