Thanks for this

I find DragonRuby GTK somewhat similar, although not open-source sadly. ( https://dragonruby.org/ )

I do not know exactly what all that means but does it needs to be desktop wide or just inside a specific app window?

I like it. Currently I'm using BeerCSS and I'm pretty satisfied with it. This library is smaller. Any other selling aspect vs BeerCSS? Thanks!

I wanted to try it. How to install it on Opensuse (Tumbleweed)? I was unable to install the rpm for Fedora.

Fully agree on templates but I use Phlex to build UIs with pure Ruby on the server side. A pleasure to work with. And with something like Datastar, reactive UIs with practically no js.

I really don't like Hotwire and FE history (I'm playing with htmx, Datastar, Phlex and love it) but the ActiveSupport autoloader -> to Zeitwerk migration was pretty much something in the background, an implementation detail, at least in my experience. Most devs don't even know what is all this about.

Niri supports [floating windows](https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Floating-Windows). I think is the same as stacking, right?

From time to time I enter its website and think that it's a great concept. Anyone using it as daily driver?

I like it, specially the Phlex choice. I'd like to know if this framework would work nicely with Datastar js library and its extensive SSE usage. Thanks

Sh*t, just realized that Liskov SP collides with LSP from Language Server Protocol :(

Looks very nice, I just watch a great YT video from the developer here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYWTw19_8r4

Yew project readme needs some love, too. I don't know what is this about

Heroku is still good for tons of stuff. After Salesforce bought it, it stopped getting much better, they removed part of free quota, some add-ons disappeared, and the like. For example, http2 support just went beta on may. It's a shame.

Wayland has arrived in lot of distros as default graphics server pretty recently, that's why it is OK to be called the new kid, IMO.

Love the Shopify effort on the LSP, I even reported issues. But, no, it's not stable or easy to setup unless you use it on specific scenarios. Also I have very high cpu usage nas crashes every day.

Mac stopped shipping Ruby some time ago.

Oh, and there is a new interpreter although probably it's not production quality yet

Alternatively, you can use Crystal instead of Go. Its syntax is almost Ruby one, except mostly for some typing. Standard library is also similar. Binary size and speed is also go-like

I remember seeing some progress on the Gtk port on the blog, i think I tried last year with some success

Mozilla maybe?

yeah, right...I was thinking "Why Dino announced changes related to the GTK GUI toolkit?"

...and let's not forget that performance could be improved in newer versions so it's a bit tricky to say that A is faster than B, period. Particularly, in this new 3.1 version there is a new JIT (YJIT from Shopify guys) that shows up to 22% on railsbench, 39% on liquid-render. And there are alternative implementations like JRuby or GraalVM with diff. in performance.

no exactly the same as js->ts but Crystal language in a typed, compiled lang. with Ruby like syntax but other nice features like Go like concurrency & speed, macros, great C interop. and they are working on an interpreter, too.

Crystal has Ruby similar syntax and Go like speed. Still needs mature a bit more

I can't stand laptop with numerical keyboards. These keys are a waste of space and moves the rest of the keys & trackpad to the left making hands position not aligned with the center of the device.

You can enable the flag to turn on experimental parallelism

There is an interpreter VM in progress, check asterite progress in the asterite:repl branch . Very cool addition. It was announce in the virtual conference last month. Check that video, too.

Well, automatic updates is a nice feature on the Itch client.

not related. There was an old issue created for this but the author will not change the name
