Jai, odin and zig's creators are all part of the handmade network, a community of programmers. You are vastly underestimating blow's reach/influence.

Odin's creator has credited Jai as an influence. You can see him in the comments of old jai youtube videos (videos that go into a lot of depth about the language design). Odin's syntax and features are very similar to Jai, the influence is pretty clear. Odin has other influences of course but you could say it's "jai but open source".

Lastly, jai is not open source but it doesn't mean it's not available. You can message blow to get access to it. Many programmers have used it. There are third party jai libraries on github.

I've never heard of Odin or seen any projects written in it, seen a company hire for it, or seen it discussed at a PL conference. There's no stable compiler for it, and no spec. Yeah, I'm just one person, so maybe I'm just in my own bubble, but these are hobby projects with a very small communities.

> Many programmers

...how many?

I'm no fan of Odin, but JangaFX[1] apparently uses it quite a bit. I believe EmberGen[2] is written[3] in Odin.

You choose one or the other

In this case, if you needed this for whatever reason, I suspect the lease makes sense to not get stuck with a Gen1 product after the same cost point of 40 months.

IDK, this is not a problem I need to concern myself with. I’m clearly not the target demographic.

column types are more like guidelines than rules

Also when clicking from a search result to a video, it replaces the url instead of pushing to navigation history. So when I click into a video and try to go back, it takes me to the homepage instead of the search results! It only happens on mobile!

It's not meant for public use, but it's also not protected. Best documentation is the fastf1 project.

View transitions api, it's pretty new: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/view-transiti...

Surprisingly, Firefox of all browsers doesn't support it.

https://caniuse.com/view-transitions

That's a pretty major deal breaker for OP to leave out of his post touting it as something to build everything in your site on (especially for a tech blog)! Does it at least have a polyfill story? I see no mention of how to make it work on, uh, the other 15% of browsers worldwide, CanIUse is telling me.

If you use it in a browser that doesn't support view transitions, the pages just don't animate. no harm no fowl

It's not that surprising if you consider that all the browsers on that page, except for Firefox and Safari, are Chrome-based

Very cool, thanks!

> with WPEngine’s

"WPEngine's" being key here. Some of the banned people are wordpress contributors, unrelated to WPE. The other banned people are not contributors at all and seemingly the only reason they were banned is that matt is angry at their tweets.

You can't cut "WPEngine’s" off from the disjunctive that follows.

> and/or its employees’, users’, customers’, or partners’

That clause is why I discussed the evidence that the people banned seem to me to fall under the meaning of the word partners.

I’ve been deactivated on Slack since very early in this dispute, and later banned from the issue tracker: https://journal.rmccue.io/468/on-contribution/

The only potential cause of this were some posts discussing the arguments behind the original lawsuit - they’re written in my personal capacity, and I’m not a partner of WP Engine. Matt is simply banning anyone who speaks out at all, even when they agree with points he’s made - it’s nothing to do with their partnership status.

(I’m not a WP Engine partner, and my day job is running a competitor to them. Aside from that, I’ve been contributing for 20 years to the project, am a committer, and built several large parts of WordPress including the REST API.)

I find this astounding given your contributions. Feel free not to answer but how is this affecting businesses such as the one you work for? How is the rest of the Wordpress agency/consultancy community reacting to all this? It’s not a space I play in, despite having heavily built on Wordpress in the past (and since abandoned it after this debacle), but I am curious. Are agencies just pretending it isn’t happening? Making contingency plans?

They didn't, they emphasized it.

How do you figure that the people mentioned are partners with an unrelated wordpress hosting platform?

Parters involved in WPEngine so yes, you can cut it off. If they aren’t working on that specifically it’s irrelevant if they’re partners on a separate project, even if it’s similar

None of the banned people mentioned a fork, some don't even have anything to do with wordpress other than commenting about the drama on twitter. The whole post is matt gaslighting to justify the purge.

> None of the banned people mentioned a fork

Steady on, at least one of them wrote a big blog post on his own site Dec 20 basically prematurely accepting the honour.

https://joost.blog/wordpress-leadership/

I can imagine the excessive smugness there about 'taking back the commons' triggered the purge.

It feels very resistant to doing anything other than summarizing. Even when you ask questions for details, the answer is always in the form of a simple summary.
