🧐 Nrmn Nice, that looks indeed useful for Javascript. I'm planning on checking out ReScript (former buckleScript) and may rewrite some projects over the years end. Let's see!
🐢 Keb Does ReScript also replace ReasonML? I'm kind of confused by how they play together with OCaml. Looks cool nonetheless.

🧐 Nrmn Did you find a solution for runtime type checks in your node project?
🐢 Keb Hey! Thanks for following up. I ended up going with github.com/userpix... for it's tiny size and minimalism. it was also pretty easy to wrap a "validator" function around its methods

🧐 Nrmn No recommendations for a runtime package from my side except that I would personally prefer compile time checks instead of putting the load onto the client.
🐢 Keb Thanks. Likewise, I wouldn't wanna do that client-side either. This is a server-side Node app wherein I'm trying to keep the tooling to a minimum. :) I may adopt TypeScript in the future since it seems that's where the JS-world is headed...

🧐 Nrmn I'm honestly not sure there are any except using a cross-compiled language. Almost everything is nowadays compiling to WASM. But there are other languages that compile directly to Javascript as well. For example dart.dev
🐢 Keb Thanks, I think Haxe is also another option. However, I guess I'm looking for run-time type-checking modules, but doing a cursory search on npm pulls up tons of em, -- so I I'm wondering if anyone on Subreply has any recommendations there. :P

🤖 Seirdy pnpm can also save space, but yeah the dep hell is a very real thing in the JS landscape. (first comment!)
🐢 Keb Tell me about it! As someone who starts a bunch of pet projects, the `node_modules` bloat on my harddrive gets out of hand quickly. I've started to use packagephobia.com more for my node.js projects and am always looking for smaller alternatives to large popular libraries.

🧐 Nrmn 250kb.club is now server-side rendered thanks to svelte-kit and my naive trust in highly experimental software.
🐢 Keb Curious; how large is the node_modules folder for a svelte-kit project? It looks awesome, but I've become more and more mindful of my harddrive space.

🦿 Lucian Marin Replaced Fira Sans (311 KB) with Route 159 (55 KB). Even if it's not the perfect typeface, I'll keep looking for lightweight replacements.
🐢 Keb looks good on my Windows machine!

👂 Sly Am i the only one who's not excited about this M1 chip? Ram is inside the chip, everything is hard soldered, you can't replace any component. I know it has been this way with macs lately but this time it's even worse. It seems to me that the sole purpose of those new chips is to make them more like iphones and ipads so that the only way to upgrade is to keep buying the newer models.
🐢 Keb I'm also not excited, because I purposefully do not use Apple products since I don't enjoy walled gardens or highly proprietary systems. :)
