sharktheone | 6 months ago | on: Temporal_rs is here! The datetime library powering Temporal in Boa and V8

I attempted to implement the Temporal spec myself and it really isn't fun. After the tc39 meeting in May, I also switched to `temporal_rs` for `yavashark`. My own implementation ways everything else than optimal, I didn't support the RFC9557 timeformat. In theory you could even use temporal_rs to provide an perfect polyfil with wasm.

Servo and Tauri still let the Application use JavaScript, which is just very wasteful. I was thinking about making it possible to write dynamic websites completely without JavaScript, by building up WASM support and making that even faster. But that's a not the goal for now. Indeed, we don't even have a JS API for websites yet...

Well, the application is basically unoptimized. However, we also don't have many components yet that can eat up your memory. But we try to keep the memory usage as low as possible. We also thought about integrating it into something like Electron, and for something like that it is important to have a low memory usage.

Lateron, we might have some compile time flags to reduce memory usage in cost of a bit of speed. Most Electron apps don't require that big oomf performance on the startup, since everything is locally and can be cached in a better way.

Yes, the HTML parser, probably the component that is the most spec compliant. I think the CSS parser also is. For the initial phase, I think it is more important to get something working. For a later implementation, the spec should dictate what we do and what not. But with a small team, it is just not feasible.

The "optimised search and unlimited browsing" isn't really a statement, it is the expanded form of the acronym gosub. As I said, I don't really like it, but this is what we have now... :/ But I can definitely see where you are coming from.

No, the website isn't AI generated. There might be some parts of it, though, like general structure of the website and structure of texts.

Yes, the initial logo design was generated by AI, however the current logo was made by a designer from the AI's draft.

I don't know if it is a compliment that my website design skills match the ones of AI or if it is more an insult

The byte stream is one of the first components that was written. Probably It wouldn't be written nowadays. The browser is quite modular, so in the end you can completely out out of that system.
