Google has introduced Sparkplug, a new compiler designed to improve JavaScript performance in Chrome, debuting with Chrome 91. Sparkplug is integrated into the V8 JavaScript/WebAssembly engine and aims to offer a faster, more efficient compilation process. Unlike traditional optimizing compilers, Sparkplug is described as a “super-fast” non-optimizing compiler, focused on delivering quick performance without the need for extensive optimizations. Positioned between the Ignition interpreter and the TurboFan optimizing compiler in the V8 pipeline, Sparkplug represents a novel approach to enhancing JavaScript execution speed. What sets Sparkplug apart from other compilers is its method of compiling bytecode rather than directly compiling…

TypeScript 4.3, the latest stable release of Microsoft’s typed superset of JavaScript, introduces significant updates aimed at improving the developer experience. One of the standout features of this version is the ability to specify types for both reading and writing to object properties. This enhancement is particularly useful for developers working with APIs that convert values in TypeScript, where there has traditionally been a trade-off between being “precise” and being “permissive.” Previously, developers had to choose between making reading values easier at the cost of writing them or vice versa. With TypeScript 4.3, it’s now possible to achieve more control…

Closures are a powerful concept often found in functional programming languages, allowing functions to maintain access to variables from their surrounding environment even after they have finished executing. In C#, closures are supported through anonymous methods, lambda expressions, and delegates. These features enable developers to create more flexible and concise code, where functions can capture and remember the values of variables in their scope, even if those variables go out of scope later. While anonymous methods and lambda expressions are well-known in C# programming, another important concept related to closures is the delegate. A delegate in C# is a type-safe…

Microsoft has officially launched the Microsoft Build of OpenJDK, making it generally available for developers seeking a no-cost, open-source distribution of Java.

With its open-source nature and commitment to long-term support, the Microsoft Build of OpenJDK aims to meet the needs of organizations that rely heavily on Java for their critical applications. The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK comes with binaries for Java 11, based on OpenJDK 11.0.11+9. This release…

Microsoft has rolled out Visual Studio 2019 v16.10, a significant update to its popular integrated development environment (IDE), with a major emphasis on full support for the C++ 20 standard. Released on May 25, this update ensures that developers can take advantage of the latest features introduced in C++ 20, including new utilities for working with calendars, time zones, and text formatting through the <format> header. With this release, Microsoft’s C++ compiler and standard library are now fully compliant with C++ 20, allowing developers to build applications with the most current features available in the language. In addition to the…

Every year seems to bring fresh innovations to the world of JavaScript, and 2021 is no exception. The latest developments in bundlers and build tools are redefining the JavaScript development landscape, offering improvements in speed, user experience, and production quality. These new tools challenge the status quo of “good enough” solutions and are making a significant impact on how developers build and optimize applications. Among the standout tools in this new generation are ESM, esbuild, Parcel, pnpm, Rollup, Snowpack, and Vite. These tools are designed with a focus on making JavaScript development faster, more efficient, and more reliable. Whether you’re…

The Eclipse Foundation’s Jakarta EE working group has unveiled Jakarta EE 9.1, which includes new Platform and Web Profile specifications designed to enhance compatibility with Java Standard Edition 11. This release allows developers to leverage the features of Java SE 11, the current long-term support (LTS) release of Java SE, when building and deploying Jakarta EE applications. Jakarta EE 9.1 also maintains support for Java SE 8, offering flexibility for teams working with different versions of Java. With Jakarta EE 9.1, developers can seamlessly incorporate Java SE 11 features into their enterprise applications. One of the key benefits of this…

Google has introduced Angular DevTools, a new Chrome DevTools extension designed to help developers inspect and optimize applications built with the Angular framework. Created in collaboration with Rangle.io, the tool was officially launched on May 18. Angular DevTools provides a powerful set of features aimed at improving both the performance and structure of Angular applications. Available for download from the Chrome Web Store, it is an essential tool for any developer working with Angular who wants to enhance their workflow and app performance. One of the key highlights of Angular DevTools is its focus on visualizing the component structure of…

For years, Java development has been dominated by a few heavyweight IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and NetBeans. These platforms have long been the go-to for Java developers due to their robust features and deep support for Java-specific tools. However, in recent years, a new contender has emerged in the development landscape: Visual Studio Code (VS Code). Known for its lightweight nature and vast array of extensions, VS Code has quickly become a popular choice for many developers, including those working with Java. Despite its primary role as a general-purpose code editor, VS Code has grown to offer impressive Java…

Serverless computing has rapidly become a go-to solution for developers seeking scalability and flexibility without the hassle of managing server infrastructure. It offers a paradigm where developers can focus on writing code, leaving the scalability and management of infrastructure to the cloud provider. AWS Lambda, one of the most popular serverless platforms, allows you to run code in response to events without provisioning or managing servers. This makes it an ideal choice for building event-driven applications that need to scale seamlessly. In this guide, we’ll walk through how to leverage .NET Core to build and deploy serverless functions to AWS…
