A Tasty Treats NEWSLETTER for Web Developers

Issue #39:

  • Create React App is officially dead (pour one out use Vite instead)
  • 28 different voices speaking directly from your browser thanks to WebGPU magic
  • ​Tailwind 4 just dropped and there are some solid quality-of-live improvements

​TypeScript the Bad Parts

@Wes

TypeScript has released a beta property erasableSyntaxOnly that will disallow any parts of TypeScript that aren’t types β€” that is anything that compiles into JavaScript code.
​
This includes enums, runtime namespaces and parameter properties.
​
Turning this on should make writing code for runtimes that simply strip types much easier - like Node.js!
