CSP is a formal language for describing patterns of interaction in concurrent systems. It's used in Go, Crystal, Clojure's core.async and a couple of other places. The idea in its core is nothing so complicated but it offers some interesting capabilities. Surprisingly enough it is not really popular in JavaScript. Recently I'm exploring this pattern and here are my findings.

Something bugs me last couple of years. I'm using React for some time now and there is always this doubt if I'm placing the business logic on the right place. I'm trying to be pragmatic, to follow best practices and listen what the community is saying. However, I still feel that something is not ok. This blog post presents the idea of the reactive view. That is nothing new per se but I came up with this term because it fits well in my idea.

I just finished reading My Decade in Review by Dan Abramov and as part of his article he mentions this talk by Bret Victor. I think it's amazing and want to keep a reference to it somewhere. What a better place than this 12 years old blog.

Епизод 23 на малко позабравения NADCAST е тук. Този път гости ми бяха Яни (https://remoteit.world/) и Ния (https://influencer.bg/). Поговорихме си за маркетинг, брандинг, hiring и работа от разстояние. Приятно слушане.

Just recently I became a fan of the iterable protocol. I knew about it for some time now but never actually integrated it on my own. I ended up using it to provide a nice API for one of my libraries and I thought that this approach worth sharing.

I really like Redux. I Love its ideas. The reducers for example - small pure functions that apply changes without side effects are nice way to model the mutations in the state. Redux also teaches us to use the one-direction data flow which makes our apps more predictable and stable. These two things fits well for what we are doing on the front-end - building user interfaces.

Of course there is nothing perfect and Redux as every other library has its own problems. In this article I want to explore some ideas for new APIs that will help solving the problems that I encounter. I’ll be happy to see your comments below.

Recently I stumbled upon on an interesting bug which reminded me what is actually happening with my components when React is rendering them.

The first post in this blog was published on 25th of August 2008. This place was always living on a shared PHP/MySQL hosting. It was driven by a custom made PHP CMS for over 10 years. It is time to move forward and follow my actual language of choice - JavaScript. I spent some time recently migrating it to Zeit and this article is showing my process.

Last weekend I was part of the ReactNotAConf conference and this 22th episode was live recorded on stage there. Kudos for the organizers and the speakers. It was an awesome event and it looks like we've made a really interesting panels. Enjoy.

Една седмица преди React.NotAConf с Радо обсъдихме някой важни подробности около събитието. Ако се чудите за какво точно ще говорят лекторите или ако все още не сте решили какво да правите на 11 май изслушайте епизода. Ще се радвам да се видим в Interpred WTC.
