    Episode 23 - Building a minimal reactive framework

    This episode explores building a minimal reactive framework using signals as a reactivity primitive. We'll look into implementing a simple component model, composing components, separating the view into static and dynamic parts, and implementing fine-grained reactivity.

    Episode 22 - Signals

    In this episode, we'll explore a concept called Signal that has been getting a lot of traction in JavaScript over the past few years. I'll describe a simple implementation so you can understand the internals and then see how it relates to the traditional object-oriented design pattern observer.

    Episode 20 - Static and Dynamic Systems

    Today we'll look into static and dynamic systems. We'll discuss what does it mean for a programming language or a framework to be static or dynamic. In the second part of the podcast, we'll focus on some of the properties of static systems and how they can help in better compile-time optimizations, development experience, and more!
