22: Project. Make Something

Taking a break from the compiler project, but only for now. I feel the need to exercise a bit more of the of the productive side. I’ve had this idea, for a long, long time. And have basically been building it in my head for the last year.

 

Project: Just do it already Run code in MirrorCode and transpile JS code to AST and compare to answer stored at AST. But the first part is to incorporate the editor, CodeMirrior, and capture the input. That would be the definition of success. Init app, get it running Split page into 50% using CSS Grid, bc fancy Put CodeMirror onto page with Elm The Problem. I need to apply the instance of CodeMirror to the div with id “CodeEditor” After Importing CodeMirror, Embedding the Elm app on the root id tag

my “CodeEditor” element is nowhere to be found.

Ports Ellie as a template Capture coding input and output Evaluate that JS, safely? Where it all when wrong the midterm Passed or Failed Totally failed at this one. Apply the instance of CodeMirror to the element ID after Elm creates the content Request Animation Frame?? Nope, no idea? The rabbit hole, Elm and Ports Me, Elm, and Compile failures * Realign Expectations, Rethinking learning this stuff Ok, so it’s a larger project I don’t have a good grasp on Elm Core Mission of this Podcast LOL, 1 point for attendance Pipe Operator, ?? A bit disheartened with my progress A little concerned effort v progress Remember learning React and Redux? That was a beast but it was in JS, which was still C style object programming now it’s functional, is it the paridigm that i’m struggling with ? Rebooting ? Elm multi-files ? This was a bit of a struggle Braking down the problem into small enough chunks ? * Picks

Functional to wasm

Astro is a statically-typed language that compiles to native code and WebAssembly, has no GC, has a syntax similar to Python, provides full type inference, and has first-class support for data-race-free concurrency.

Teach yourself CS

If you’re a self-taught engineer or bootcamp grad, you owe it to yourself to learn computer science. Thankfully, you can give yourself a world-class CS education without investing years and a small fortune in a degree program 💸.
