What I Learned Building a Web-Native Programming Language
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1ntkzfj/what_i_learned_building_a_webnative_programming/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Over the past few months, I set myself a challenge: could I design a programming language where web development is “built-in” at the syntax level? Instead of using a general-purpose language (Python, JS, etc.) plus a framework, I wanted something where HTML and CSS are first-class citizens. The experiment eventually became an alpha project I call Veyra, but the real value for me has been in the technical lessons learned along the way. 1. Writing a Lexer and Parser From Scratch I started with the basics: a lexer to tokenize the source code and a parser to build an AST. Lesson: error handling is harder than tokenization itself. A clear error message from the parser is worth more than fancy syntax features. I experimented with recursive descent parsing since the grammar is simple. 2. Making HTML and CSS Part of the Language Instead of embedding HTML as strings, I tried this kind of syntax: Copy code Veyra html { h1("Hello, world!") p("This is web-native syntax.") } The compiler converts these blocks into DOM-like structures under the hood. Lesson: Treating HTML as a first-class construct feels elegant, but it complicates the grammar. Balancing simplicity vs. expressiveness is tricky. 3. Designing a Package Manager I built a lightweight package tool (veyra-pm). Lesson: even a basic package manager quickly runs into dependency resolution issues. I had to decide early whether to reinvent or piggyback on Python’s ecosystem. 4. The Interpreter and Runtime The interpreter executes the AST directly. Lesson: performance is “good enough” for toy programs, but without optimization passes, it won’t scale. Designing a runtime that is both minimal and extensible is its own challenge. 5. Balancing Vision vs. Reality Vision: a “modern, web-native” language that reduces boilerplate. Reality: getting even a toy interpreter to run reliably takes weeks of debugging. The hardest part was not coding but deciding what not to include. Open Questions I’d love feedback from others who’ve tried building languages or runtimes: If you were designing a web-first language, how would you structure the syntax? Is it better to stay standalone or embrace interop with existing ecosystems (e.g., Python packages)? Where’s the sweet spot between “toy” and “usable” for new languages? If You’re Curious I’ve shared the code on GitHub (MIT licensed) and a PyPI package for experimentation: GitHub: https://github.com/nishal21/veyra PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/veyra/ It’s still very alpha (v0.1.1), but I’m continuing to iterate. TL;DR: Writing your own language is 20% syntax and 80% design tradeoffs. For me, the experiment has been a great way to learn about parsing, runtime design, and the challenges of building anything “web-native” from scratch. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Radiant-Ad-9540 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Radiant-Ad-9540)

[JS/TS] For those who made a reactive library before, how to deal with reconciliation on array ordering.
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1nszt1m/jsts_for_those_who_made_a_reactive_library_before/
<!-- SC_OFF -->I'm doing a small reactive library ( no VDOM, direct manipulation and quite "mechanical" as it will be used for a generator later but still ergonomic enough to write by hand ) for fun and learning purpose, to learn how a reactive library works and also later how a compiler and generator works. So the first step I'm tackling is the actual reactive library, for now I got to a point where I think it works well and has hierarchy and cleanups when it is supposed to, and I made 2 small helpers for control ( when and each ) but, as of now the each does not care about ordering and I'm not sure how would it be able to change the order tbh, at least not right now. So for anyone that did one, how did you do it? EDIT: I changed so any control part is now tied with the dom and are less generic, I made each work in a way that nodes can be reused and using the dom to reorder with a list. Obs: there is a bug where if you try to add another item to the array that has the same key it does not get added because it thinks the component already exist. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Gustavo_Fenilli (https://www.reddit.com/user/Gustavo_Fenilli)

Auto-documentation with a local LLM
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1nsr4l7/autodocumentation_with_a_local_llm/
<!-- SC_OFF -->I found that any time a code file gets into the 1000+ lines size, Github CoPilot spends a long time having to traverse through it looking for the functions it needs to edit, wasting those precious tokens. To ease that burden, I decided to build a python script that recursively runs through your code base, documenting every single file and directory within it. These documents can be referenced by LLM's as they work on your code for information like what functions are available and what lines they are on. The system prompts are currently geared towards providing information for an LLM about the file, but they could easily be tweaked to something like "Summarize this for a human to read". Most importantly, each time it is run it only updates documentation for files/directories that had changes made to them, meaning you can easily keep the documentation up to date as you code. The LLM interface is currently pointing at a local Ollama instance running Mistral, that could be updated to any local model or go ahead and figure out how to point that to a more powerful cloud model. As a side note I thought I was a tech bro genius who would coin the phase 'Documentation Driven Development' but many beat me to that.

<!-- SC_OFF -->Dear r/programming (https://www.reddit.com/r/programming) community, I'd like to discuss my solution to a common challenge many teams encounter. These teams work on their projects using PostgreSQL for the database layer. Their tests take too long because they run database migrations many times. If we have many tests each needing a new PostgreSQL database with a complex schema, these ways of running tests tend to be slow: Running migrations before each test (the more complex the schema, the longer it takes) Using transaction rollbacks (this does not work with some things in PostgreSQL) One database shared among all the tests (interference among tests) In one production system I worked on, we had to wait 15-20 minutes for CI to run the test unit tests that required isolated databases. Using A Template Database from PostgreSQL PostgreSQL has a powerful feature for addressing this problem: template databases. Instead of running migrations for each test database, we create a template database with all the migrations once. Create a clone of this template database very fast (29ms on average, regardless of the schema's complexity). Give each test an isolated database. Go implementation with SOLID principles I used the idea above to create pgdbtemplate. This Go library demonstrates how to apply some key engineering concepts. Dependency Injection & Open/Closed Principle // Core library depends on interfaces, not implementations. type ConnectionProvider interface { Connect(ctx context.Context, databaseName string) (DatabaseConnection, error) GetNoRowsSentinel() error } type MigrationRunner interface { RunMigrations(ctx context.Context, conn DatabaseConnection) error } That lets the connection provider implementations pgdbtemplate-pgx and pgdbtemplate-pq be separate from the core library code. It enables the library to work with various database setups. Tested like this: func TestUserRepository(t *testing.T) { // Template setup is done one time in TestMain! testDB, testDBName, err := templateManager.CreateTestDatabase(ctx) defer testDB.Close() defer templateManager.DropTestDatabase(ctx, testDBName) // Each test gets a clone of the isolated database. repo := NewUserRepository(testDB) // Do a test with features of the actual database... } How fast were these tests? Were they faster? In the table below, the new way was more than twice as fast with complex schemas, which had the largest speed savings: (Note that in practice, larger schemas took somewhat less time, making the difference even more favourable): Scenario Was Traditional Was Using a Template How much faster? Simple schema (1 table) ~29ms ~28ms Very little Complex schema (5+ tables) ~43ms ~29ms 50% more speed! 200 test databases ~9.2 sec ~5.8 sec 37% speed increase Memory used Baseline 17% less less resources needed Technical aspects beyond Go The core library is designed to be independent of the driver used. Additionally, it is compatible with various PostgreSQL drivers: pgx and pq Template databases are a PostgreSQL feature, not language-specific. The approach can be implemented in various programming languages, including Python, Java, and C#. The scaling benefits apply to any test suite with database requirements. Has this idea worked in the real world? This has been used with very large setups in the real world. Complex systems were billing and contracting. It has been tested with 100% test coverage. The library has been compared to similar open-source Go projects. Github: github.com/andrei-polukhin/pgdbtemplate (https://github.com/andrei-polukhin/pgdbtemplate) The concept of template databases for testing is something every PostgreSQL team should consider, regardless of their primary programming language.
