Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Graceful Language - Core

NOTE: In very early development stage. Primairly experimenting with a few ideas so use at your own peril.

A simple programing language created for the common person. This package contains the core minimal features of the language with the hope of building on top of that. Graceful has primarily been inspired by Lisp, Erlang, Forth and Javascript. However, it should be noted that languages like Blitz Basic, Python, Actionscript, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Lua, Ruby and many more have also played somewhat of a role in Graceful's design. The hope with Graceful is to be a simple language at it's core with a simple set of ideas to work with. From there the end user can build upon the language and tailor it to their own needs. Graceful has been primarily developed in the Javascript and Browser eco system so that it can easily be portable and shared with others. Hopefully as the langauge gets more stable it can be port to other environments as well.

Keywords

In the interest of keeping Graceful simple the desire is to reduce the total number of keywords in the core language. Currently here are the list of 8 keywords reserved by the language.

  • _list - Creates a list of tag (symbolic) items. A list can be thought of like a JS literal object or associative array.
  • _item - A base structure within graceful that holds metadata about the value or target referenced. It is the main generic type used by the language. Items contian data, info, temp, link metadata structures about the item.
  • _get - Get a reference from a specified storage target.
  • _ignore - Ignore the contained content. Useful for comments in code
  • _log - Output content to some display. The intention is that the host system implements this functionality.
  • _set - Set a reference for a specified storage target.
  • _share - Share a reference to a specific target. Think of this like a return statement in a function.
  • _write - Capture the the contained contents as a string / list of character values or codes.

It is important to note that the language marks reserved keywords with a leading _ character. This is so that keywords can be re-mapped or aliased to some other keyword suited for the needs of the end user.
