LiveScript was, and still is, a much better name

I'm quite curious on how they're doing the song extending!

Well done, the Deno team!

I found the FAQ in the announcement well made too, with some good and questions and answers.

I'm already having a great time with Deno v1 on my side project - thank you!

Amazing release!!

So nice to see the Standard Library stabilizing too. I'm using it more and more.

I think this is a really well done step in the right direction - bravo!

I'm curious on what the Deno team is building here.

I randomly stumbled into Deno's homepage today, and was amazed by both how far it has come, and how good the homepage is now!

Interesting take from him:

" ... one of the most interesting parts of Dieter's story is that he now looks back on his career with some regret. «If I had to do it over again, I would not want to be a designer,» he's said. «There are too many unnecessary products in this world.» Dieter has long been an advocate for the ideas of environmental consciousness and long-lasting products. He's dismayed by today's unsustainable world of over-consumption, where "design" has been reduced to a meaningless marketing buzzword."

"Rams is a design documentary, but it’s also a rumination on consumerism, materialism, and sustainability. Dieter's philosophy is about more than just design, it’s about a way to live. It’s about getting rid of distractions and visual clutter, and just living with what you need. The film features original music by pioneering musician and producer Brian Eno."

And I was expecting the Outlook J smiley. Been a while since I've seen it in the wild now.

I was surprised to see this casually mentioned in their 2023 year in review for Proton Pass

I've been patiently waiting for the web app for Proton Pass, and was surprised to read that it's already available in early access:

"Proton Pass on web — while Proton Pass has always had a web extension, a dedicated web app was a widespread community request, and now Proton Pass web is available at pass.proton.me for paid users (it will later be available for all users)."

The initial WebGPU Standard Library is such a promising step in this direction!

Related, but I found the blog post more insightful and interesting[0]

>Next on our roadmap is the development of support for albums and automatic categorization based on photo types, such as screenshots. We are also working on integrating on-device machine learning to ensure that you can enjoy all the smart features you’ve come to rely on while maintaining end-to-end encryption.

Once it has matured a little more, and this feature is implemented, I'll happily switch from Google Photos!

The example they provide for false positives is haunting

I was looking for something like HMR for client side reloading a little while ago (HTML, CSS, etc), and ended up with just using the CLI of Browsersync[1] with a barebones config. It works, but feels shoehorned and wonky.

It would be nice to do this with something native to Deno, which this HMR implementation seems to enable!

Next on their roadmap: Proton Pass web app

I'm looking forward to it! I'd like to manage my passwords in a full web app, instead of just the mobile apps and extensions

I found the "What are quantum computers?" section to be a good introduction, especially for those with web experience!
