loud people on twitter are always switching to the new hotness. i personally can't see myself using bun until its reputation for segfaults goes away after a few more years of stabilizing. deno seems neat and has been around for longer, but its node compatibility story is still evolving; i'm also giving it another year before i try it.

Wow, I thought you were exaggerating, but no: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3...

Open 80, closed 492.

That's basically just Zig, right? Re-invented C but only fixed the syntax, not the problems.

it’s hard to be convinced that zig is an acceptable idea for security critical runtime for web applications.

And as I understand it, most (if not all) of these segfaults were in casual use, not when someone is trying to attack it..

I don't know Korean but I really appreciate the interesting discussion around linguistics you started here. Some favorite comments that taught me something:

Hangul's phonetic symbolic design: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47382219

Korean plural forms: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47386312

Your comment on how LLM tokenizers shorten common inputs in training data; Korean is more visually compact but suffers from poor token compression: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47381843

Hangul keyboard layout - so cool that the layout is split between consonant and vowel hands and forms rhythmic harmony while typing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47382081

It’s not dumb to create, play, experiment.

The author made some art and came here to share it and discuss craftsmanship, and you replied it with an insult and reviewed it like it’s a business decision steeped in global politics. You missed the point and were mean while doing so.

Sometimes having a good kernel matters more than having a good userspace.

They've been working on support for a while (years), eg this 2022 commit. https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/e6717cdeb6a841f4b1f6...

perhaps don't be hard on them, Chrome released this to stable 2 months ago.

yes, there's a few different polyfills https://github.com/tc39/proposal-temporal/tree/main/#polyfil...

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rust ecosystem eventually move to Temporal's api, given v8 (Chrome) adopted Boa's rust implementation temporal_rs (https://docs.rs/temporal_rs/latest/temporal_rs/), see burntsushi's arguments for the need of a better datetime handling library in Rust (https://github.com/BurntSushi/jiff/blob/master/DESIGN.md#why...). I'm not sure his jiff create will be the one, i think temporal_rs has become the authoritative implementation.

a much less ambiguous name than Interval

there are a zillion of these "json pro" kind of things: superjson, devalue, capnweb, all with slightly different ideas about how to lower high-level semantics to json's available types. it's so easy to do this kind of thing, its a real https://xkcd.com/927/ situation.

CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) has JSON-like semantics with type extension support; with built in type extensions its much easier to get some agreement about registering certain magic type IDs to mean certain things. for example from a random google search for "cbor datetime" https://j-richter.github.io/CBOR/date.html; there's an IANA registry of type IDs: https://www.iana.org/assignments/cbor-tags/cbor-tags.xhtml

however, it is binary.

its gotta become bytes somehow
