hello, world

Welcome back, Sara! Glad to hear you’re feeling better.

Typesetting on the Web just got more beautiful! Support for `text-wrap: pretty` has landed in Safari Technology Preview 216. @jensimmons.bsky.social's post on the WebKit blog explains how this improves typography in multiple ways: no more ragged edges, poor hyphenation, or short last lines.

Better typography with text-wrap pretty Support for text-wrap: pretty just shipped in Safari Technology Preview, bringing an unprecedented level of polish to typography on the web.

I’m super excited about `text-wrap: pretty`. It does a lot more to improve typography than you might expect — at least in Safari Technology Preview 216.

It improves all lines of text, not just the last 4. It enhances hyphenation & rag, not just avoiding short last lines.

Go performance optimizations that have gone into the new TypeScript compiler!

It's so good! We've been playing Split Fiction for the past week and have really been enjoying it.

Very well deserved! Cheers :)

cmd/compile: slow escape analysis in large package in the typescript compiler · Issue #72815 · golang/go Go version go version go1.24.1 linux/amd64 Output of go env in your module/workspace: AR='ar' CC='gcc' CGO_CFLAGS='-O2 -g' CGO_CPPFLAGS='' CGO_CXXFLAGS='-O2 -g' CGO_ENABLED='1' CGO_FFLAGS='-O2 -g' ...

It currently takes unusually long to build the new TypeScript compiler codebase (written in Go). Mere hours after this issue was reported, @thepudds.bsky.social put up a fix that speeds up compilation by ~5x, reducing the build time from ~91s to ~17s. This is so cool to see! Open source FTW.

✅

I can imagine it must’ve been difficult to keep this under wraps for so long. That said — congratulations on the announcement! Really good stuff :)

Amazing news for the #TypeScript ecosystem! The 10x speedup will be a game changer for developer experience — can’t wait to see this land.

This is great! Congrats and thanks to everyone who made this possible 🙌

I’m so sorry to hear that, this really sucks :/
