running npx npkill listed like 34 GB of node_modules on older projects I'm no longer working on

[Sherri Booher]

Oooooo, I need this in my life! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Shubham Battoo]

This is all we need with small SSD. Thanks

Functional programming, which I discovered by using Elm.

Would love to try F# to develop backend in a functional way as well.

[Aniruddha Bhattacharjee]

I am learning Functional Programming too, but I went with Haskell. Still finding the whole paradigm a little confusing and counter-intuitive though.

[Evaldas Buinauskas]

I found Elm at first confusing too because I was taught to write code imperatively. Haskell is the most functional language you can think of and it takes time.

Even if you won't use it, everything you've learnt will benefit when you write code in different languages.

[Antonio Savage]

Hit up solidity and smart contracts if you are enjoying functional programming. Huge demand for sol devs currently and its some interesting stuff.

Vue, its cli and learning more about the whole vue ecosystem I really really like it and looking forward to learning a lot more about it.

Svelte is really cool! I understand why some people are weary of it, but I'm a fan!

[Saurabh Sharma]

Svelte is ❤

I am loving the new android studio canary build with jetpack compose, I am also loving the Kotlin programming language.

[Jared]

Just started with Kotlin. Reminds me so much of JS, which could be a good or bad thing lol

[Varun Barad]

I am also going through the Compose Tutorial right now. Just need to download the canary Android studio first though.

[Sdu]

I want to try out the MotionEditor first. It didn't load my project for some reason though, I'll have to do some debugging

[Anwar]

I felt in love with split-require. Finally I can use the dynamic import syntax

components: {
  MaterializeNavbar: () => import("component/MaterializeNavbar.vue")
}

My index.js went from 1.9Mb to 954Kb, where were you when I needed you the most 😭

JAMStack!

Gridsome site, using Tailwind CSS, Forestry.io CMS and hosted on Netlify.

These were all completely new to me. It's turned out to be a great setup for my portfolio site.

[Chloe]

How have you found tailwind? I know some bootstrap as we use it at work quite a bit. I had a quick go with it this afternoon but I'm generally not keen on adding all that markdown to my HTML.

[Chris Finnigan]

Grids took a little bit of getting used to for me, but I like it alot. Previously I have always used Bootstrap.

The messier html syntax is a thing but in reality if you identify common components you can use @apply to collate groups of utilities into a single class.

It's a trade off between more classes in the html and less CSS to write. I find it quite easy to read. The classes are very descriptive so it does give you a good rundown of what you should be seeing.

The abillity to setup custom config to match a style guide/design system would really help keep a site's UI consistent.
