I like to program as close to vanilla as possible. Because abstractions are complex. Seriously, why give a man a fish when you could teach him about asynchronous programming?
I've been paid to program for 13 years. People have paid me to write SQL, Java, Python, PHP, C, and JavaScript. Which is ridiculous as it's just my hobby. I love to code.
Bun has an sqlite interface built in. It make for some great dev-ex. One thing that ircks me when dealing with sql and Typescript however, is that when I run queries I often have to model the db table that I am querying in Typescript. This usually involves a manual effort, but not anymore. I have written a short script to auto generate Typescript types for table definitions.
I introduce to you "literal-templates", a lightweight, flexible template engine for Node.js. Offering dynamic registration and rendering of template views, includes, and helpers.
I've been thinking some more about using template strings as a view engine. This blog for example now uses the template engine shown below. It's quite simple to implement and it's usage in html files is super intuitive. You just need to remember that the html you are writing will be intepretted as a template string, and you already know how to use template strings, so there is no overhead.
