What programming/technical projects have you been working on?
This is a recurring post to discuss programming or other technical projects that we've been working on. Tell us about one of your recent projects, either at work or personal projects. What's interesting about it? Are you having trouble with anything?
I made a browser extension for Firefox! It's a silly little thing that might only really be useful for me, but its been reviewed and approved and you can find the link to the extension in my gihub repo. You can find that source code here. All in all it took maybe 4 hours-ish to make over the course of two days. Since I had to learn how make an extension for Mozilla, and then relearn javascript. Only thing left is to test on my phone so then I can release and use it on Firefox for Android, which was the whole goal of this in the first place!
Sorry, father, for I have sinned. I created static compiler for TypeScript. It is actually not full yet, I just implemented synchronous language features before ES2015, but have ideas how to connect libuv for async stuff. Since the scope is huge, does anybody think it is worth it?
I've used TypeScript for making CLI tools before I've learned Go, so this silly project could make sence to me few years ago, and now I don't know if I should invest more time into it. Does anybody see value in making static binary from TypeScript?
