  Start to work with rollup.js to pack JS files

rollup.js is a module bundler for JavaScript. It compiles small piece of JavaScript modules spreading in different files into a single larger standardized ES code file. This post will show some entry level usage for this library. Introduction Normally a bundler tool would compile a few small JavaScript files into a single JavaScript so that web browser can read, parse and render it properly. A bundler tool may be needed because of a few reasons: Some early stage browsers don't understand module...

  Empty slice vs nil slice in GoLang

In Go, there is a type called slice which is built on top of array. It's a very convenient type when we want to handle a group of data. This post will explain a subtle but tricky difference between empty slice and nil slice. A nil slice is a slice has a length and capacity of zero and has no underlying array. The zero value of slice is nil. If a slice is declared like below, it is a nil slice. package main import "fmt" func main() { var a []string fmt.Println(a == nil) } The output will be t...

  The Strange Behavior of the void Type in TypeScript

Preface In TypeScript (TS), there is a type called void. It represents "nothing" but it's important to note that it's not the same as "nothing" in JavaScript(JS). Typically, void is used to declare the return type of functions. Although you can declare a variable as void, we generally don't do this because it serves no meaningful purpose. Let's explore why in the examples below. The void Type Declaring a Variable as void let name: void; // Declare a variable `name` with type `void`. name = 'nan...

  Is Java the platform of the future?

I've mentioned before, but I think we are living in a period of time where a bigger explosion of programming languages is occurring than at any time in the past four decades. Having lived through a number of the classic languages such as BASIC, Simula, Pascal, Lisp, Prolog, C, C++ and Java, I can understand why people are fascinated with developing new ones: whether it's compiled versus interpreted, procedural versus functional, languages optimised for web development or embedded devices,...

  A simple example of git bisect command

git bisect is a very powerful command for finding out which commit is a bad commit when bug occurs.  The rationale behind this command is that it pin locates the bad commit by divide and conquer. It divides the commit history into two equal parts, then determines whether the bad commit is at the first half or at the other half. This process will continue until the bad commit is located. Here is a really good example created by bradleyboy, this is a simple git repository which demonstr...

  Is Python all set to triumph over Java?

Python is one of the top programming languages of the present time. A variety of companies with different backgrounds and offerings have embraced the capabilities of Python to make wonderful tech products. As, Java is also known to be one of the most recognized languages, therefore, there is a constant battle that takes place between the two languages. Python wants to dethrone Java as the number one, whenever it is and vice versa. It is like the tussle between Android and iOS which is never endi...

  new() and make() in GoLang

GoLang is a modern, statically typed, compiled programming language designed for building scalable, concurrent, and efficient software. It provides various built-in functions and features that help developers write concise and efficient code. Among them are the new() and make() functions, which may appear similar at first glance but serve different purposes in GoLang and are crucial for memory allocation and data initialization. In this blog article, we will explore the differences between the n...

  Be careful about nil check on interface in GoLang

nil check is frequently seen in GoLang code especially for error check since GoLang's special error handling convention. In most cases, nil check is straight forward, but in interface case, it's a bit different and special care needs to be taken. Take a look at below code snippet and guess what the output will be. package main import ( "bytes" "fmt" "io" ) func check(w io.Writer) { if w != nil { fmt.Println("w is not nil") } fmt.Printf("w is %+v\n", w) } func main() { var b *bytes.B...
