As you may have noticed, the Start a New React Project section of the React docs no longer recommends using CRA (Create React App). Create React App used to be the go-to approach for building React applications; it only required client-side routing and page rendering. Now, however, the React docs suggest picking one of the popular React-powered frameworks that support server-side rendering (SSR).

As we face the potential of AI to change the course of history, we humans have many big questions to answer. The next season of the Equinix podcast “Traceroute” looks at AI’s potential, both good and bad, and our fascination and emotional connection with this increasingly pervasive technology. Season 3 of Traceroute, hosted by yours truly, kicks off on Thursday with a two-part series exploring the burgeoning relationship between humans and AI.

It’s fair to say that the core paradigms of the operating systems on which our systems run haven’t really changed since the 1970s, even though we’ve learned a lot in the intervening time. We’ve seen innovation, particularly in terms of UX and concurrency. But, according to Liam Crilly, senior director of product management at NGINX (part of F5), it feels like we are still just optimizing for the local maximum.

Indeed, it is “Not a way to script a spreadsheet or an API that allows a Python program to interact with a spreadsheet, but the full power of Python because the spreadsheet is in Python,” he said in a Neptyne blog post introducing the Google Sheets add-on. “We always wanted to make programming more accessible to non-programmers, and spreadsheets are a great way to do that; it is how people already interact with data — the universal data canvas if you will,” Osinga told The New Stack.

As the latest web technology to catch fire, many see WebAssembly or Wasm as a “can’t miss” proposition. Proponents rave about the performance, which is lighting fast, and the security model, which is “least-privilege” from the ground up. Near-instant startup times of Wasm processes are a big benefit as well. Often missing from the list of major benefits is true portability. Why? Because robust portability is the ultimate killer app.

Even the most stalwart Rust haters are finding it difficult to conjure arguments about why not to learn and use Rust when building WebAssembly applications and supporting infrastructure. The reasons are many, including significantly greater language support both historically and now, a better fit for computations inside WebAssembly modules, exceptionally lightweight and speedy for LLM (large language model), and other superlatives.

Cloud development environments, also known as CDEs, are rapidly gaining traction as the next frontier of programming productivity. However, some developers still may not know what they are. At their core, CDEs are a fundamental shift of the developer’s workspace from local machines to the cloud — labeling them as simply “online code editors” would be a massive oversimplification.

Yesterday, The New Stack shared Carniato’s first four “go-to” methods for mitigating heavy code. Today, we share the next go-to step — HTML streaming — plus three strategies that offer more “radical architectural approaches” to cutting down on JavaScript. 5. HTML StreamingHTML streaming basically allows you to send the page and data in chunks as it completes, Carniato said.

Requirements — determining what a piece of software will do for one or more user “personas” — is typically the first thing done in a new project. “A very large part of building good software is getting good requirements and ensuring that you’re building the right thing,” Rickard told me.
