!rant

OMG fuck yeah!

Today I was workin' on my CSS framework, made a couple of cool functions for generating hsla() colors with a customizable lightness and opacity. Using calc() for multiplying the default lightness by the value passed in parameter to the function.

"It's working perfectly in Chrome and Edge, cool! Now let's check in Firefox, but if it's okay on Edge, I'm pretty confident..."

Except, that's a failure: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_b...

At that point, I started to rant alone. Properly. Like: "why this feature is still not implemented, people are waiting for it since YEARS!! Fuckin' browsers war!!!"

I was already thinking to drop a big angry post on here, when I noticed something : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US...

So I update Firefox Developer Edition and, IT WORKS!

This feature was needed since years and the FF team brings it just when I need it. What was the chance ? I feel happy :)

Conclusion: sometimes ranting is the easy way. Calm down, try harder and you can find the solution!

Filthy Pollo: import {globalStore} from '../main.js'

Filthy Pollo: is that unstandard javascript?

Filthy Pollo: it makes me think it's from webpack

Filthy Pollo: unforgiving...

Ron Chi: i wont answer these questions again

Ron Chi: i already told u chrome supports imports its been a few months

Ron Chi: modules are evaled once, so if u have some state living in ur module if u reimport it ull just get that same state
Ron Chi: myModule.js - const myShit = { 'a': 'eh?' }; export { myShit };

Filthy Pollo: gg

Ron Chi: index.js - import { myShit } from './myModule.js'

Filthy Pollo: import and export are unexcepted token

Ron Chi: import needs to be used at the top of a file, before any other code

Filthy Pollo: https://i.imgur.com/myrrIMx.png

Filthy Pollo: Im going to assume import and export aren't supported in the browser

Ron Chi: because ur squigly line in ur editor?

Filthy Pollo: This feature is only implemented natively in Safari and Chrome at this time. It is implemented in many transpilers, such as the Traceur Compiler, Babel or Rollup.

Ron Chi: https://github.com/paulirish/...

Ron Chi: actually i dont think its handled properly by babel, webpack handles it

Filthy Pollo: what the fuck why use import and export that wont work in other browsers like firefox, edge, etc. ?

Ron Chi: because other browsers are slow

Ron Chi: its still standard

Filthy Pollo: your answer is not really professional

Ron Chi: ?

Ron Chi: why because its my fault that other browsers are still working on it

Ron Chi: they fought over implementation details forever, than it has to be implemented properly before shipping it

Filthy Pollo: Im blaming the people who are still using export and import in the browsers

Ron Chi: u wont be using modules without transpiling without some limited market for a couple years, otherwise ull still be using rollup / system.js / webpack

Filthy Pollo: obviously webpack

Ron Chi: thats up to you, it seems the google ppl use rollup

Ron Chi: but most of the community chose webpack

Ron Chi: angular 2 uses system.js internally i think

Filthy Pollo: Firefox 54 – behind the dom.moduleScripts.enabled setting in about:config.
Edge 15 – behind the Experimental JavaScript Features setting in about:flags.

Filthy Pollo: nobody wants to be bothered to change settings in flags

Filthy Pollo: the developers who use experimental features are weirdos as hell

Filthy Pollo: the joke is when they use experimental feature for production and force them to download chrome

Filthy Pollo: Monopoly as hell

Filthy Pollo: Corruption of User Experience

You seriously telling me that I can hand the same fucking html/css whatever to different browsers and they'll render it differently? I have fucking safari and firefox look the same/as expected but fucking chrome looks different.

What the fuck, why can't we have a single standard and have it be followed. I assume some super smart fuckers getting paid mad dosh are responsible for getting this shit done and wrangling all us retards running around flinging shit around doing any sort of web work. Related : https://xkcd.com/927/ but I am no less angry and butthurt. Fuck css. I'm still fucking boggled, why the fuck can I hand over the same fucking input and some special fucking snowflake decides to process it differently I'd like to think they should output the same fucking shit.

Plot twist: maybe chrome's rendering it properly but firefox and safari are both misrendering it the same way?

And I can't wait for QA to get back to me on how it looks on fucking IE and edge when I get sick of this shit and if I ever finish.
