With #Angular 9/Ivy our prod js bundles shrank down to about 60% in size, awesome!

Merge request to upgrade to final @Angular@twitter.com 9.0.0 is opened, pipeline running ...

#ff on a Thursday ;-) @sulco@twitter.com has great #JavaScript/#TypeScript tips.

@kuketzblog Die #DSGVO respektive #GDPR gilt praktisch nur für kleine und mittelgroße Unternehmen.

import {whatever} from ~/path/file

and no more:

import {whatever} from ../../../path/file

in your #TypeScript code base:

If now even the big US-based IT players participate in #GaiaX, all what's left "European" about it, is the fact that european tax payers have to pay for these subsidies.

Coming with #TypeScript 3.8:
- import type
- JavaScript/hard private fields: #var
- import * as namespace
- await outside of functions (top level)
- es2020 target

... and more, see details here:

#Testing the #UnitTests?

That can be done automatically with #MutationTesting:

Even with #TDD it has it's value, e.g. after #refactoring.

Anybody succeasfully using #StrykerMutator for #Angular/#TypeScript projects?

Anybody here who has ever used the #Mosaic browser as well?

To be honest, even though I've over 14years experience with C++, it's quite some years ago that I've actually used it.

Programming in #JavaScript feels kinda wobbly,
still so with #TypeScript, but at least with safety belts and hints.

Programming in #Java feels stable and save, but a bit clumsy,
and with #Kotlin the clumsiness is gone too.

And C++, that's like juggling with sharp blades ;-)
