Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Writing Java in Javascript considered harmful

I made this because I am tired of seeing this:

function NotReallyAClass() {
	this._notReallyPrivate = 'bar';
	return this
}

NotReallyAClass.prototype = new SomeGodClass();

NotReallyAClass.prototype.crash = function () {
	...
}

Stop it!

Usage

npm install -g sweet.js
npm install jmars/algebraic-data-traits
sjs -m adt/macros -m sparkler/macros -o index.js index.sjs

Dependencies

trait Speaks {
	log(str) {
		console.log(str)
	}
}

trait Barks {
	requires log

	bark() {
		this.log('WOOF!')
	}
}

data Animal {
	Dog {
		name: String
	},
	Cat {
		name: String
	}
}

impl Dog {
	mixin Speaks
	mixin Barks
}

impl Cat {
	requires log

	mixin Speaks
	
	meow() {
		this.log('MEOW!')
	}
}

var fluffy = Cat.create({name:'fluffy'});
fluffy.meow() // MEOW!

// And sparkler.js compatible
fluffy match {
	case Cat{name} => console.log(name) // fluffy
}
