_hyperscript

hyperscript has some operator precedence, but within a given general precedence level you have to explicitly parenthesize if you use different operators: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/_hyperscript/blob/06f9078a... https://github.com/bigskysoftware/_hyperscript/blob/06f9078a... this eliminates most practical precendence questions NB: one thing that may strike people as strange is that the parse methods are on the parse elements themselves, I like to localize everything about a parse element in one place

My web scripting language, https://hyperscript.org, tries to hide the difference between sync and async by resolving promises in the runtime. My theory is that this is something that web script writers should not be concerned with (this theory makes more sense when you consider hyperscript is a companion to htmx, and favors a particular approach to scripting[1].) on click fetch /whatever as json put the result's data into #some-div wait 2s put '' into #some-div You don't have to mark the script as sync or async, and the runtime will resolve everything for you, making everything feel like synchronous scripting. This obviously has limitations and foot guns, but it works reasonably well for light scripting. More info here: https://hyperscript.org/docs/#async And the implementation of it in the runtime here: https://githu

It seems to be this one: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/_hyperscript https://hyperscript.org/ but not sure it's anything to do with the OP though

Apparently when the fetch fails, it triggers an `fetch:error` event[1], which can (probably) be handled somewhere. No idea about formatting the response, though. I think it's quite natural for there to be large gaps in functionality provided: it looks like a rather young and unpopular project, so the additional code needed to handle more situations from within the language still needs to get written. jQuery also didn't have a whole universe of plugins from day 1, but was useful enough anyway. Not saying this project has a chance to become another jquery, just that it too can be useful even in a far-from-complete state. [1] https://github.com/bigskysoftware/_hyperscript/blob/master/s...
