Great, give them one more reason to attack WBM.

Re:Anecdotally, Programmers Dislike "Reduce" on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @07:02AM (#49814217)
In my case, it's more of a personal preference than any measurable impact. Practically, `for...of` would be the best approach. But I like to avoid chaining and avoid manually building an array (in your example I'd replace `acc.push(el * 2);` with `return acc.concat(el * 2);` -- even though I suspect `push` might be more performant but not sure). Why do I prefer it? Can't explain. If the nanoseconds really mattered then I might change it. Otherwise it's just one of the many ways of achieving the same goal.

Exactly. If I need just filter/map/some etc., I use it. But if I need a combination of more than one, that's a job for reduce().

All the web platform changes are really cool:

---

> The CSS attr() function now supports values of any type, so authors can use attribute values in any property rather than only as strings in the content property.

> Firefox now supports the progress() CSS function.

> Firefox now supports the alpha() CSS function. This is a relative color function that can be used to modify just the alpha component of a given color.

> Firefox now supports the Promise.allKeyed and Promise.allSettledKeyed methods from the await dictionary proposal, which take an object of promises and resolve to an object of results with the same keys.

... And so on.

Looks like a variant of Trebuchet MS.

This is excellent. Async being first class is definitely a paradigm shift compared to other frameworks. Vue has been trying to outdo Solid by the introduction of Vapour mode but now Solid has the upper hand once again.

(I see a lot of people complaining about AI use in writing the announcement. What they forget is, when you spend time actually writing and debugging code, these kind things that can be outsourced to LLMs should be. The important stuff is elsewhere and that's what matters. Not a blog post. Its purpose is to tell the users what to expect and the post does that well.)
