STOP Reinventing The Wheel

Показать описание

Many programming languages have standard libraries. What about JavaScript? 🤔️

Deno's goal is to simplify programming, and part of that is to provide the JavaScript community with a carefully audited standard library (that works in Deno and Node) that offers utility functions for data manipulation, web-related logic, and more. We created the Deno Standard Library in 2021, and four years, 151 releases, and over 4k commits later, we're thrilled to finally announce that it's 30 modules are finally stabilized at v1.

Pulling in a package to tell you if an number is odd does not sound like a good idea on paper

Thanks for reinventing the wheel, so others need not 😅

I really like the little dino icon u guys choose.

Asher, Yoshiya and Bartek, you guys have done a great job on building and mediating the standard library! It's awesome to see how far it's come.

I like that you are talking about new @std packages while scrolling through packages with a text 'DEPRECATED' 😁

Oh, this looks very nice. It's like the great rewrite to end all rewrites, or at least most of them. JavaScript definitely needs something like this, the amount of single-function libraries being composed on top of one another makes of its ecosystem a joke 😅 .

Nice job, I'll give it a try.

The JavaScript landscape is pure insanity. 🤔🤦🤷

The "standard library" of js has tended to be the APIs that js runtimes provide, a lot of this functionality to handle JSON, HTML and other stuff you mention is already globally available in such places and it won't be replace by a library approach. The important goal is achieving parity across JS runtime environments, so you can expect that your code will run in a browser or anywhere else.

But does the std library work in Node 0.0.4?

Despite the video title; I have my own small set of TS utilities. When I need something that I will use commonly I write it once in a file, I have a few files with classes, functions, even some constant variables all grouped by the subject matter (& sometimes tests if complex enough). I just include the sources files as needed into my bundle. I've been doing this for many years with a variety of languages such as C, C++, PHP, Typescript. I also have some shell aliases for more immediate common tasks.
The advantage is that I know exactly what is in it, I don't have to worry about anyone else's code & managing versions & any additional dependencies. We're all aware of the 'padLeft' controversy, and others like it. Sometimes programmers do odd things, I know I do, it's hard enough to keep up with my own stupidity let alone other's.
I've always tried to make heavy use of templates & generics so that I can avoid writing the same code multiple times.

Is there a way to push this functionality into the ecmascript spec? That is the ONLY way to make it better.

The problem with is-odd is not that it isn’t included in the standard library 😂

I loved the leftpad mention in the transcription of the video

Good idea. Unfortunatly a standard library for js would need to be included in all the Browsers - as this is (still) the JS main runtime - to be fully sucessfull.

I remember people started arguing with me that beeing opinionated is "not invedted here Years have passed and look at the shitshow that js is that has been pulled in all directions by both the comunity and big companies tying to define what's right
