   Join me at 5PM Irish time (UTC+1) today for a look at what’s been happening with Kitten¹ and Domain² in the past month. I’ll be reviewing some of the cow paths I’ve been paving and the patterns that are emerging in Kitten as I build Domain using it.

   New stuff includes:

   • slots in components
   • layout components
   • app modules
   • @small-tech/kitten library
   • type-safe databases in JSDB with JSDoc and custom classes

     @filipesm I feel you can get 99% of the benefit with 1% of the effort by enabling type checking in your JavaScript files. And you don’t end up neutering a beautiful dynamic language in the process.

     I’m not a fan of unnecessary build processes and transcompilation. I feel it introduces undue complexity at every level in web development.

     (It works for the same folks who tried to make ECMAScript into Java back in the ActionScript days. Easy to see why enterprise folks like it.)

     @aral btw what's your stance on Typescript? I'm curious
