   So interesting webdev whatnot crossed my path today.

   First, a resurrection of hypertalk, browserized:
   https://hyperscript.org/

   on pointerdown
   repeat until event pointerup
   set rand to Math.random() * 255
   transition
   *background-color
   to `hsl($rand 100% 90%)`
   over 250ms
   end

   Secondly, HTMX

     @progo @jeremiah It is trivial to use IRC. Discord is a fake and gay convention

     @progo we do this over and over again because the problems we're trying solve change.

     We also do it because it's fun; there's no short of software written without a business model for pure joy/autism.

     not free? It has a BSD license.

     @jeremiah holding public discussions about a software project in a disaster service like Discord makes it less free.

     Still technical free-as-in-RMS because to RMS discussion and documentation are irrelevant to whether software is free or not.

     But forcing me to use a proprietary service where the client has mystery meat navigation for the global "which project am I on" nav bar makes me not participate in the project.

     Machismo repeated this.

     @jeremiah I hope this kind of thing catches on.

     It took over 20 years, but we have managed to soft-fork JavaScript into a subset that is orthogonal to "this looks like a stack based virtual machine", and then it got really forked off to a stack based virtual machine for all your zero-install coding needs, which everyone has deployed already in their browser.

     And now, we add languages to the UI layer that make better sense for UI scripting.
