Cheng Lou - On the Spectrum of Abstraction

Cheng Lou, a former member of the React team, gave an incredible talk at React Europe 2016 entitled "On the Spectrum of Abstraction". That talk is available for viewing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVVNJKv9esE

It's only a half-hour, but it is mind-blowing. It's worth re-watching two or three times, to let the ideas sink in.

I just rewatched the talk for some research, and wrote down a summary that's semi-transcript-ish. I didn't see any other transcripts for this talk, other than the auto-generated closed captions, so I wanted to share for reference.

So. Your friend's about to teach you how to make a website. Great!

You make a file, and you save it as 'index.html'. Why it's called 'index' isn't really explained to you, but whatever.

You type the following.

hello world

par6n

function netstat( cb ) {
	const spawn = require( 'child_process' ).spawn;
	const netstat = spawn( 'netstat', [ '-e' ] );

	var resp = '';
	netstat.stdout.on( 'data', ( data ) => {
		resp += data.toString();
	} );

	netstat.stdout.on( 'end', ( data ) => {

Since Twitter doesn't have an edit button, it's a suitable host for JavaScript modules.

How to use

This is the follow up to a post I wrote recently called From Require.js to Webpack - Party 1 (the why) which was published in my personal blog.

In that post I talked about 3 main reasons for moving from require.js to webpack:

1. Common JS support
2. NPM support
3. a healthy loader/plugin ecosystem.

Here I'll instead talk about some of the technical challenges that we faced during the migration. Despite the clear benefits in developer experience (DX) the setup was fairly difficult and I'd like to cover some of the challanges we faced to make the transition a bit easier.

Sort object properties by value (values are text)

I have following object:

var cities={10:'Tashkent', 14:'Karakalpakiya', 16:'Andijan'};

I want sort it by city names, so after sort it should be:

var cities={16:'Andijan', 14:'Karakalpakiya', 10:'Tashkent'};

But I can't sort object properties, instead can convert object into array, then sort items.
