I assume you're already familiar with the core React library? Just for my curiosity, what parts of the React ecosystem do you currently know well and what makes you choose these as being on your radar?

Collapse

Basic concepts of react like components, state, props and hooks. I have done a few small projects with react. But I never felt the need for global state I kept App.js component as the main comp and passed the state down as props, maybe that's because these projects I worked on, are small. I was happy with useReducer and useContext, so far. I still need to work on more intermediate level projects before touching any third party state management tool. I read a few articles about what problems does GraphQl solves and I also want to build a portfolio/blog with gatsby and since gatsby uses GraphQl, so I chose these.

+1 for Gatsby !

Yes that's definitely on my radar as well ... and GraphQL then comes naturally, Gatsby depends heavily on it ... React and (to a lesser extent) Redux as well.

I was also thinking about Rust, dabbled with it a bit but never found a practical application. Funny enough it seems that most people are interested in using Rust as a sort of frontend language (via WASM) while I associate it more with the backend.

Oh and Flutter maybe.

Gatsby however looks more of direct practical interest.

I saw on twitter most people saying that redux has become redundant with the introduction of hooks and Context. Also there is a new state management library recoil by facebook themselves.
I should have said any third party state management library.
This article by Kent C Dodds gives more insights on using one.

Good article, thx for sharing!
As a redux user, I have to add the "useReducer/Provider" approach to my to-try list. This JS fashion is changing so fast.. 😓

Just wanted to add: never feel bad because you haven't tried something yet. There always will be something new to try. And that new thing probably will have it's downsides either. Give it a chance when you feel it's time, don't push yourself 🙂

C++ and Rust are definitely at the top of my list. I really wish I could integrate them into my JavaScript applications, but the build systems are so cumbersome that I often find myself too bothered to find the time to properly use and learn them.

The Rust WASM toolchain is pretty much at the point where it's usable, provided you know a little about both Rust and WASM. You could also check out Parcel bundler which supports Rust out of the box.

Collapse
 
somedood profile image
Basti Ortiz

Wow. How convenient! I would love to learn more about how this all works under the hood.

Does Parcel compile Rust so that it directly binds with V8, or does it use some fancy foreign function interface (FFI)? Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I figured that it might be the latter due to the presence of the no_mangle directive in the Rust example. Moreover, does Parcel provide the option to compile Rust into native Node add-ons instead?

Say, if I wanted to write a performance-critical application, this would be critical information for me in my tool belt.

Thread Thread
 
woubuc profile image
Wouter • Edited

Parcel compiles the Rust code to a WASM (WebAssembly) bundle. This is basically the Javascript standard equivalent of FFI, and should work in modern browsers and in Node.

If you specifically want to write native Node add-ons, I've heard pretty good things about neon but I haven't tried it out myself and it seems more involved than loading a WASM bundle with a bundler.

Thread Thread
 
somedood profile image
Basti Ortiz

Nice! Parcel is more attractive now that you mentioned WebAssembly. Thanks for the nod in the right direction. I'll definitely look into it.

Also, I've tried Neon once. It was an overall good experience, but tooling support is desperately lacking. In particular, Rust support in VS Code was a huge pain to deal with. Tooling aside, Neon is a neat alternative to FFI. It's best to give it a few years to mature before a proper judgement can be made.

Thread Thread

Lack of IDE support is definitely one of, if not the biggest obstacle for Rust right now. I haven't used VS Code in a while so I can't compare, but I'm using IntelliJ with the IntelliJ-Rust plugin and it works fairly well (some minor annoyances but no major issues).

You can also check areweideyet.com for an overview of Rust plugins & support in various IDEs.

Thread Thread

It's very unfortunate, too, because Rust is a great language with promising ideas and paradigms to offer. I'll do some further research on IntelliJ's IDE capabilities. With that said, thank you very much for your advice.

From my experiences with C++, cmake is the de facto standard build system. And wrapping C++ as node module can be done using swig. Pretty good.

Collapse
 
somedood profile image
Basti Ortiz

I am definitely open to making use of CMake. However, my biggest issue with it is the additional amount of knowledge required to set it up. The tedium of configuring a build system is the curse of compiled languages that discourages me from playing and hacking away. I do have some fault in that regard, but it is admittedly a cumbersome task.

Docker. I used it sometimes in my last company and it hasn't been at the top of my list of things I want to learn - but it IS on the list.

For me, the experience of developing is what sold it to me. Having used Ionic and React Native, I can say it's the seamless development experience so far.

Some other good points:

  • Great docs
  • Loads of out-the-box widgets (components)
  • Quite a big community
  • And UI warnings, for example, if your text overflows the screen, it will show a warning in the app showing where the issue is and explaining the problem.

Rust/WASM definitely near the top. I also played around with Flutter when it was new but sort of put it on the shelf to let it mature. I'd love to revisit that.

Elixir. I became interested in Functional Programming and started trying to do things using an FP approach in JavaScript, and tinkered with FP libs in JS. This led me to wanting to learn an FP language. I chose Elixir because Phoenix sounded interesting. I spent a few weeks with Elixir, made a couple of basic apps, and even attended a meetup. Then Covid-19 happened, AND I started working on my master's degree.

I find Clojure to be a fascinating language. A descendant of LISP it comes from a long history of language design that is very different from other, more mainstream languages.

LISP has a reputation for being somewhat cryptic to read, having terrible performance (especially compared to something like C back in the "old days") and used primarily in an academic context. Personally, I find a lot to appreciate in LISP's terse syntax because it packs a lot of punch. But I guess it's a matter of taste.

Clojure, which first appeared circa 2007 took LISP and put a practical spin on it. For one, it targets the JVM as its operating environment so as to take advantage of the huge eco-system that was built around Java in the past 20 something years.

The thing that attracts me to Clojure the most, is that it forces me to think very differently about my solution. As someone who uses mostly object-oriented languages on a day-to-day basis for the past 20 years or so, I know that most modern languages will get the work done. But there isn't any joy to it particularly. It's merely perfunctory. Clojure brings back the joy of discovery. And of thinking in a completely new way, but still remain in the realm of pragmatic programming since Clojure is meant for "real world" applications.

But convincing an engineering manager isn't exactly easy. From what I can tell a company is either a "Clojure shop" or it isn't. There isn't really much of a middle ground. So I've yet to find the opportunity to build something that I had to ship with it.

C++ (and C at some point). Over the last 20+ years I've started learning it so many times and can write a "Hello Word" and basic math bins in it, but I never finished learning it. I code for myself so I've never had any time frame so I usually just learn the languages I need to do what I want and scripting languages always ended up being capable of what I needed so I end up holding it off again for another year. I finally got around to Python and Fortran in the last couple of years and been loving them, but I still go back to AutoHotkey mostly.
