#corejs

Più o meno lo sapete quanto si soffre a programmare normalmente in #JavaScript, no? Ecco, immaginate poi di dover targettare uno standard più vecchio di ES6… #mannaggia! Mancano sempre tutte le funzioni utili. Ogni tanto ciclicamente nella mia vita torna sempre questo problema, e ogni volta tocca usare #coreJS (o, realisticamente, quando le funzioni che mancano sono 2, si fa prima a sistemare il codice per funzionare con vie alternative). Solo che a sto giro ci ho messo un attimo a realizzare che il #WebView di sistema di #Android4.4 è fermo ad #ES5, credevo fosse messo meglio. 🤕

*reads trough the current readme on core-js and can only shake her head*

Most devs and enterprises seem to be ignorant assholes. Plain and simple. That man single-handedly made it possible to use new JS on old browsers and for that he gets fucked over and over. Not even a single nice word but constant flames, treats and hate.
What the actual fuck... are you folks not right in the head or what? I thought we FOSS people are better. 😾

In der neuen Folge sprechen wir u. a. über #corejs und Open Source Finanzierung, die Probleme im #React Ökosystem und widmen uns am Ende "nur einem Film" im Konsum. Immerhin waren wir uns einig, dass Bilbo einer der Guten ist. https://ready-for-review.dev/2023/03/01/rfr042-alle-bose-ausser-bilbo/

Please, be mindful of the fact, that if you buy into this drama financially, or otherwise donate to the project's author on a regular basis, you are essentially funding #russian war in #Ukraine (hopefully you understand the mechanics of taxes and residency). This is about the principle, not the actual amount.

If you care about #OpenSource or Internet infrastructure, zloirock (Denis Pushkarev)'s post about #corejs is a must-read:

[So, what's next?](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02-14-so-whats-next.md)

[So, what's next discussion](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/issues/1179)

Disclaimer: zloirock's story seems reasonable and plausible (and sad and crazy-making), but I don't have direct personal knowledge or experience in the matter. Caveat lector.

Hoje li todo o post do desenvolvedor do #corejs e me ocorreu que: as fundações relacionadas com software livre poderiam criar uma força de trabalho para identificar projetos #FOSS que estejam em situações similares e buscar formas de ajudá-los a se tornarem sustentáveis.

Convido todos a ler na íntegra:

Can we just get off #corejs already.

#corejs #FOSS #StateOfOpen

Well written blog from Denis Pushkarev about the state of core-js (yes, the "looking for a good job" guy), and his situation as a FOSS maintainer. It's easy to make fun of the core-js output, but it's important to understand where he's coming from and how little core-js gets for being used on 500+ of the Top 1000 websites. Longer blog, but definitely worth a read.

core-js – So, what's next?

Really heartbreaking read from the maintainer of #corejs

https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02-14-so-whats-next.md

And now that we are seeing our freely given code used to train AI models that will probably put us out of jobs... I'm really re-evaluating my own time spent on publishing #OSS.

I contribute annually to #FOSS that I use... but I'm not sure we as an industry are doing ourselves much of a favour by acting like capitalism won't always take advantage of us any way it can.

FOSS isn't free... someone always pays the bill... https://github.com/zloirock/core-js/blob/master/docs/2023-02-14-so-whats-next.md

if you're a dev, the software is truly 'as-is', stop supporting it. Stop taking bug reports, stop making updates, stop adding features.

Most importantly, **Stop using a license that suggests no support if you plan on 'supporting' it.**

You can't have it both ways. #corejs #programming #FOSS

Interesting open letter from a core-js developer to FOSS community. He decries to abandon the project or move to a commercial model. Worth to see what it looks like from the other side.

This is heartbreaking. Why are we as a society so bad at supporting open source?

#corejs #foss #opensource

Holy Crap, this message from the #corejs maintainer is something else!

“I wanted to make the life of all JS developers easier and in November 2014, I published core-js as an open-source project. Maybe it was the biggest mistake in my life.”

You have to read the rest of his story yourself. Let’s just say it’s crazy he suffered through so much, while maintaining one of the webs most popular libraries for free!

People, especially ones using OSS projects, can just be horrible. Tough read:
