Slightly related: my own blogpost about demistifying containers. It takes a quite different approach from the OP and focuses on a different side of containers. Would appreciate any feedback!

I wish s-expression was a popular alternative. It's readable without the yaml issues.

You're right, and I actually make that point in the blog post! Reactivity is not exclusive to the frontend.

However, in the frontend, Reactivity is almost an invisible default. You don't opt into it, you just kinda have to when you use a modern framework.

In the backend, many people use Reactive patterns without even knowing them or thinking of them. But either way, if you do use them, you likely opted in, and it wasn't a "all code you write is automatically reactive" like in modern browser ui frameworks

 

Most modern JavaScript UI frameworks boast Reactivity, but have you ever wondered what that means exactly?

In my opinion, Reactivity is largely responsible for making modern frontend development unintuitive to outsiders.

This blog post explains what Reactivity is, and how it manifested in the frontend development world today.

You might find this interesting if you're: a frontend dev unfamiliar with the concept, a non-frontend dev interested in frontend, or just curious what Reactivity is!

Have you considered raku? I'm not super familiar with perl but I assumed raku is perl improved

You can make your medium articles free though

Ahh, I thought you meant like literal notes at first. I understand now. Thanks! :)

The appeal I see in medium is more visibility for my content. I write for fun anyways, would be cool for more people to see it.

How's that different from medium?

 

I have a self hosted blog currently, and I'm considering posting it on medium.com

I blog mostly for fun and I have not tried to monetize it. Are there any reasons to not use medium?

What about alternatives like substack?
