Working pipe operator today in pure JavaScript

(spoiler: its XSLT)I&#x27;ve been working on a little demo for how to avoid copy-pasting header&#x2F;footer boilerplate on a simple static webpage. My goal is to approximate the experience of Jekyll&#x2F;Hugo but eliminate the need for a build step before publishing. This demo shows how to get basic templating features with XSL so you could write a blog post which looks like<pre><code> &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
 &lt;?xml-stylesheet type=&quot;text&#x2F;xsl&quot; href=&quot;&#x2F;template.xsl&quot;?&gt;
 &lt;page&gt;
 &lt;title&gt;My Article&lt;&#x2F;title&gt;
 &lt;content&gt;
 some content
 &lt;ul&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;hello&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
 &lt;li&gt;hello&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
 &lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
 &lt;&#x2F;content&gt;
 &lt;&#x2F;page&gt;
</code></pre>
Some properties which set this approach apart from other methods:<pre><code> - no build step (no need to setup Jekyll on the client or configure Github&#x2F;Gitlab actions)
 - works on any webserver (e.g. as opposed to server-side includes, actions)
 - normal looking URLs (e.g. `example.com&#x2F;foobar` as opposed to `example.com&#x2F;#page=foobar`)
</code></pre>
There&#x27;s been some talk about removing XSLT support from the HTML spec [0], so I figured I would show this proof of concept while it still works.[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=44952185">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=44952185</a>See also: grug-brain XSLT <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=44393817">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=44393817</a>

Building a JavaScript Runtime using C

TL;DR: dagger.js is a buildless, runtime-only micro-framework that plays nicely with native Web Components. It uses HTML-first directives (e.g. +click, +load) so you can ship a page by dropping a single &lt;script&gt; from a CDN—no bundlers, no compile step.Why I built it
Modern stacks are powerful but often heavy: bundlers, compile steps, framework DSLs, local CLIs. For internal tools, small apps, and edge&#x2F;serverless deployments, I wanted something you can view-source, paste into a page, and ship.What it is:Runtime-only: no build or VDOM compile; hydrate behaviors directly on HTML.
HTML directives: e.g. +click, lifecycle +load &#x2F; +loaded &#x2F; +unload &#x2F; +unloaded.
Zero APIs: dagger.js works in pure declarative mode, modules and directives provide everything you need to build your application.
Web-Components-first: works alongside Custom Elements; keep concerns local.
Distributed modules: load small, focused script modules via CDN.
Progressive enhancement: the page renders without a build step.Use cases:Admin panels &amp; dashboards that don’t warrant a full toolchain
Embed widgets, docs-sites with interactive bits
Edge&#x2F;serverless apps where cold start and simplicity matterLinksGitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dagger8224&#x2F;dagger.js" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dagger8224&#x2F;dagger.js</a>

The Future of JavaScript: What Awaits Us

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]);
 }
 }
```
