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 🙏

A fast language for the web

BType is a compiled, statically typed language for the web that doesn't get in the way of day-to-day development. It's unusual for a language to be considered "fast"; rather, it is usually the case that the language runtime is considered fast. BType achieves good performance by using "native" compile targets like asm.js and LLVM IR.

At the time of writing, BType is still experimental and should NOT be used for production needs.

Features

  • Tree shaking
  • Lexical scope, closures, first-class functions
  • Compiles directly to JavaScript and LLVM IR
  • Operator overloading
  • Generics
  • Strong static typing with type inference

Requirements

You must have Node 5.x or later installed. Running tests requires LLVM 3.6 or later.

npm install -g btype

# or for hacking

npm install
brew install llvm  # Or your favorite package manager

Goals

  • Provide a language with the best features of JavaScript, Python, etc.
  • Code compiled to JS should run faster than vanilla JavaScript
  • Code should compile to a wide array of targets
  • Tools for accessing external JS utilities should be available
  • Automatic memory management
  • Very fast compilation
  • Code compiled to JavaScript should minify well
