What's up Now
Updated on , where it is starting to get sunny again (sometimes)
I have been building my own tiny web development ecosystem.
My web “terrarium” — at least, that’s how I think of it.
I now have:
- McFly - a metaframework for web components. I describe it that way because the web development industry is still largely in a “component” paradigm. I am hoping to support a different paradigm though, which I still cannot put into words at the moment. So let’s keep to thinking “web components” for now.
- WCB - a low-level reactivity system for… yeah, web components. There’s a trade off between productivity & lightweight-ness here and it is somewhere between Microsoft’s FASTElement & Google’s LitElement. Though the other “knob” to balance the trade off, is building it generic so that devs can also use custom stuff, like now you can use lit-html with it.
Many things missing still, as is with all “terrariums”, but building a model that represents the larger world allows me to understand web development in ways I never imagined I can.
