utf16be shows typescript error but i haven't tested it.

JavaScript

09 November 2025 17:31

Why use any of those

JavaScript

09 November 2025 17:30

[0] with [1], [2] with [3], ...

JavaScript

09 November 2025 17:30

If it can do utf-16, utf-16be is easy

JavaScript

node buffer is not any encoding

Datastar is the better HTMX and Hotwire (it also has client-side signals that are similar to Alpine)

JavaScript

So what is in between like i want dont write bloats actually fuck react i did find svelte somewhat like goodish but it has its own downside

JavaScript

Why? Here's my Go experiences:

After writing Go for a bit I feel like productivity rumors are pretty true, BUT I am not very happy with the quality of the output
I feel like I need more guarantees from the type system and static analysis than I'm getting
The runtime code while compiling and running feels a bit brittle, like I'll need to double check everything dynamically

Ultimately it depends on what you're building. If you're building a personal site or some small one-off project, go ham and implement everything from scratch. Buf if you want to build something people will actually use you don't really have much of a choice these days, unless you want to spend potentially hundreds of extra hours on stuff like accessibility, localization, routing without requiring a full page load every time, state management, etc.

That doesn't necessarily require a massive framework like React or Angular, but you're not going to get away with just vanilla JS either unless you just don't care.

The benefits outweigh the downsides. For instance, it saves us from having to write that awful language, Go

People write too much JS in general and that's the biggest problem IMHO.

JS was designed as a small scripting language for minor interactions on the page.

Using it to script server logic and drive application state is a big mistake.

TS eliminates some of the problems, but it doesn't solve it.

I tried, it's the css value, not visible size.

JavaScript

utf-8 supports them all

JavaScript

09 November 2025 17:33

i need to support many languages and emoji

JavaScript

09 November 2025 17:31

i used ucs2 and i get chineese text when i decode

JavaScript

09 November 2025 17:30

Just flip all the bytes

JavaScript

09 November 2025 17:30

Do you mean an encoding param used to convert from / to Buffer?

JavaScript

09 November 2025 16:41

node buffer does not support utf16be?

JavaScript

09 November 2025 09:53

Everything has downsides. From a framework perspective svelte is really nice. There’s also the Hotwired libraries (Turbo and Stimulus), Alpine, and a lot more. Data-star and HTMX also exist.

JavaScript

I don't get this brittleness feeling in TS

JavaScript

Vanilla JS is great, right up until you start re-implementing react

JavaScript

09 November 2025 06:26

None. You're completely right! Next topic 🙂

JavaScript

09 November 2025 06:22

There are compromises 🙂 whether you're fine with them or not is another question

JavaScript

09 November 2025 06:21

this is such an absurd statement
A programming language is a programming language. js works on a server just fine without any compromises.

I see no pluses to write vanilla js for any projects

JavaScript

09 November 2025 03:41

If you see the Computed section in the DevTools you will get the actual result which is affected by zooming, maybe try that
