My 9 year old son has been learning to code. He learned HTML &amp; CSS over the last year or two.Recently, we had a breakthrough where he learned how to leverage Google Gemini as a learning tool (not to write code for him, but as a better search and as a coding teacher). This leveled him up big time and he decided to make his own game.Game link here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.armaansahni.com&#x2F;game&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.armaansahni.com&#x2F;game&#x2F;</a>He&#x27;s coded all the HTML, CSS &amp; JS by hand in VSCode. He&#x27;s made the animated graphics on his own using a web based sprite editor called Piskel.For the game, I provided hints along the way and Gemini has helped him with syntax. View source to see the code. He&#x27;s excited to share with the community.He also wrote a blog post about how he made this game: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.armaansahni.com&#x2F;how-i-coded-a-game-using-ai&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.armaansahni.com&#x2F;how-i-coded-a-game-using-ai&#x2F;</a> (he independently figured out how to leverage Gemini effectively and writes about it here).Regarding the blog post - We had a discussion about who the target audience is (ie not 9 year olds!), what they would be interested in learning about and the general outline. He then dictated his words into the computer (which gets around spelling issues), and he went through multiple rounds of feedback from his parents (improving clarity, punctuation, etc). In other words, its his words &amp; thoughts but he had help along the way!NOTE: both parents are programmers, who provided valuable guidance through his coding journey.

Boardgame.io: an engine for creating turn-based games using JavaScript

I&#x27;ve open sourced a JavaScript to WASM compiler. It&#x27;s an experimental tool, but given the semantics I already implemented, I&#x27;m fairly certain I am able to eventually cover 100% of JavaScript spec. Any ideas, questions or critique welcomed! If you are interested in WASM, especially with new proposals like WASM GC or exception handling, it might be a good source of seeing these features in action - the project has a few thousand lines of hand written WAT so far.

We&#x27;re building a different kind of JavaScript engine, based on data-oriented design and willingness to try something quite out of left field. This is most concretely visible in our major architectural choices:1. All data allocated on the JavaScript heap is placed into a type-specific vector. Numbers go into the numbers vector, strings into the strings vector, and so on.2. All heap references are type-discriminated indexes: A heap number is identified by its discriminant value and the index to which it points to in the numbers vector.3. Objects are also split up into object kind -specific vectors. Ordinary objects go into one vector, Arrays go into another, DataViews into yet another, and so on.4. Unordinary objects&#x27; heap data does not contain ordinary object data but instead they contain an optional index to the ordinary objects vector.5. Objects are aggressively split into parts to avoid common use-cases having to reading parts that are known to be unused.If this sounds interesting, I&#x27;ve written a few blog posts on the internals of Nova over in our blog, you can jump into that here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trynova.dev&#x2F;blog&#x2F;what-is-the-nova-javascript-engine" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;trynova.dev&#x2F;blog&#x2F;what-is-the-nova-javascript-engine</a>

Deno vs. Oracle: Canceling the JavaScript Trademark

Howdy! I&#x27;ve just written a blog post about this, and I figured I would share it here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smoores.dev&#x2F;post&#x2F;announcing_smoores_epub&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smoores.dev&#x2F;post&#x2F;announcing_smoores_epub&#x2F;</a>. As I&#x27;ve been working on Storyteller[1], I&#x27;ve been developing a library for working with EPUB files, since that&#x27;s a large amount of the work that Storyteller does. After a friend asked for advice on creating EPUB books in Node.js, I decided to publish Storyteller&#x27;s EPUB library as a standalone NPM package. I really love the EPUB spec, and I think the Node.js developer community deserves an actively maintained library for working with it![1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smoores.gitlab.io&#x2F;storyteller" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smoores.gitlab.io&#x2F;storyteller</a>

JavaScript powers the web - it's **the** most important programming language you need to know as a web developer.

## Exempel 1

For example, We have an array of different objects that can weigh the same or different and are spaced apart from us.
The customer wants the lightest and closest object.

```js
object.sort((a,b)=>a.weigh - b.weigh)

 const lightest=(object[0].weigh);
 let sortDistance=(object[0].distance); 

 for (let i = 0; i< object.length; i++) { 
 if (lightest === object[i].weigh && sortDistance > object[i].distance){
 sortDistance = object[i].distance;
 sortObject.unshift(object[i]);
 }else{
 sortObject.push(object[i]);
 }
 }
```
