JSX But With Lua | Prime Reacts 

I followed your advice to create something I like using. I really like JSON, so I built a fullstack framework based on it. I'm calling it JDSL and I'm very proud of it. Haven't figured out how to implement comments yet, though. -Tom

Great article. I made myself a HSM (UML Statechart) library in C once because I got fed up with some bloated, overly-complex state machine in an embedded C project. Imagine a > 700 line function using 3 different state variables to do half-baked state nesting, so instead of only having to check one variable for state change you now have to do it for three... Feels good to make something to fix a problem, but even better when you get to apply it to future problems.

This is great, I love Lua. Now I just want this in a frontend….

You should check Scala 2 XML. It will satisfy this guy to have a host language that understands the XML instead of being just a fancy preprocessor.

I built my own pure PHP framework using Workerman, FastRoute, an own fork of Plates, HTMX and AlpineJS. No one is ever going to use it, but I had a lot of fun doing it and it made me happy :D

I created a object query language in php it works as a no sql backend Enginne and has made me faster at implementing my side projects and ideas - I love it

Deno/Bun (with native JSX support) + HTMX = only server JSX components, but with dynamic on the client. Simple and powerful!

love the energy!

The transpiler in this article changed my life forever.

I dont concat strings, i merge memory buffers

Twig is as good a templating system as it gets outside of the Java world.

I'm curious how complex UIs in situations like this are built. I'm thinking of robust async data tables and whatnot. 🤔🤷‍♂

Screw this article, Hugo is awesome, fast, secure. Dynamic sites are shit.

We got a double Prime reacts for this one

Ben Visness is so based, respect

I love lua. There are many places I wish it'd be used instead of JS.

Been using Lua for 10+ years. Feels like it's always been underappreciated as being so dynamic while hardly sacrificing speed. Working on a very, very large project right now in 99% lua. You have to enforce some of your own rules to keep things organized but it's actually a really nice experience. Started watching prime a little while ago and he got me into neovim, so there have been some days I've spent more time messing with my config than actually working lol. I've seen lua popping up more and more it's really exciting to me.

DNA is just strings. So I am string concatenated. I'm also string con-caffinated.

prime loves react so much he put it twice in the title

I wish the common web browsers used Lua instead of JS

Nothing beats the security of static HTML in the case of things like login and registration screens.

Child: I want Blazor! Mom: We have Blazor at home *Templ - the Blazor at home*

That was based af, really inspiring stuff.

who said jsx always involves the client side? Nothing against transforming jsx into simple html - also makes using HTMX quite nice. But yeah, ofc, consuming 200mb of RAM for a simple blog is a bit... excessive nowadays (though I remember something with the LAMP stack about 50mb per connection? :P)

Lua? Brazil mentioned let's goooooooooooo

Would use

I wonder if this could be used in React-Lua

this guy always giving love to other creators even tho hes massive on socials, i really like that

This guy's blog has even more based takes if anyone is interested btw "It's always a tradeoff" is such a gem He also has multiple stuff on Unreal engine (and obv adevnt of code on playstations), so gamedev energy feeling I got after hearing "I hate this so made my own" was confirmed

A video about really coding for you and Lua... "THIS IS THE GOOOOOOAT, THE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAT!"

BETH stack jsx = Pretty nice

He is so right. We have regressed and made dev work so convoluted and shitty that it sucks all the joy out of it. A few months ago I made a list of all the different syntaxes and config formats I need to know at least well enough to find where to look it up. I stopped once I got past 30. Many times the same systems use different styles or formats. Especially since every project decided they must include some CLI instead of gui dashboards. Now not only do you need to know all the regular commands + syntaxes, but also the variations used by each framework or project. I think it is great that they offer the option but making a gui command or config builder is a minimal time investment that will save millions of man hours in the long term, simply because you can click a button instead of having to remember all the commands, their spelling, their syntax, formats, any paths, etc. Besides having to know html, css, js, mysql, etc. just t build your project, now you need to learn 50+ syntaxes for, build systems, config formats, package managers, CLI, etc. This is all in addition to all the knowledge needed about how these things work causing an unneeded additional load and cost.

i wish one day browser would just implement lua straight up, it's just a nice language, well defined and also very fast. js is straight up a horrible language imo.

wait, so you really can deploy a go backend with just a executable?

*S U C C*

I am very happy lua is getting some attention its a really awesome language that doesn't get the appreciation it deserves

True hate is a emotion that can make u build anything I hate video editing so I made my automatic video editor

Calculating current date is mind-numbingly simple without wrapping the whole page in some library

i just realized my current project is making my own html in rust for desktop, which is just ridiculous

Tom's a genius

Could He use Julia instead of Lua?

What Lua language server is that?

Havemt read the interpreter book but my go to is Crafting Compilers first for the initial foray in of "Just get something working get the gut feeling of how it works, then make it a bit better" with the rewrite for more realistic performance in the second half of the book and only then go for the dragon book to get into the hardcore stuff if you jive well with that and want to go deeper

"No fun allowed.."

I hate Prime for not highlighting sentences completely.

Someone please write a new language and call it SUK

I think Alpine is the answer for adding some client-side processing.

aweful

JSX with Astro Edge SSR is the way.
