I’m mainly looking at this from a performance perspective and the jsx spec, but I could see language tooling still being needed in the case of changes to the API with a compiler.

But I also understand the appeal, JSX has been around for a while and you would think it could handle statements and features we use regularly in JS in templates.

Even though there are some drawbacks of JSX, I think handling this with a compiler is more practical than changing the tooling space for what seems like a slightly improved developer experience.

Something to consider is this also would require a decent bit of tooling change in parsers like babel and vite plugins if you were to create a new spec and extension.

If we can somehow modify the existing spec but get the same benefit, like statements and closure state that would be great

Absolutely!

Animating things is hard. The course reveals how great animations borrow from familiar patterns around us and in the real world.

This is the stuff that gets noticed on projects, especially things like motion design which Josh's course covers incredibly well in an interactive way.

Out of curiosity, what would you call the component that has to the knobs on the XY pad?

I notice that it’s used a lot on the blog and course platform

If I recall I ran into some browser support issues with transform-box

What finally made browser vs server code click for you?

The resources I've been looking through are quite complex, especially for beginners 😬

Is it just me, or do videos on bluesky take forever to load?

The other day, I paired with the @qwik.dev team to improve module prefetching. We focused on making it more efficient and faster, and honestly, it was an amazing experience working with such a talented team. Qwik keeps blowing my mind! πŸš€

Can't believe how easy this spotlight effect was! CSS has come so far. The radial gradient x/y values animate with a spring animation on top.

Possible with @property, pointer events, and the linear() function. Props to CSS easing wizard @matthiasmartin.dev for the spring animation.
