Ok, aprovechando que esbuild tiene soporte para la propuesta de decoradores (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-decorators), decidí hacer una implementación experimental para registrar las clases de GObject.
Me encanta :3
Pero todo será mejor cuando GJS incorpore soporte oficial, ya que tendremos decoradores más granulares, y no tendremos que meter en un objeto literal todo x3

Voy a dar inicio a un hilo sobre una app que surgió de mi deseo por tener una presentación de fondos de pantalla en GNOME, y que al cambiar entre fondos actualice el color de acento del sistema.
Acá voy a ir dando actualizaciones sobre el desarrollo de dicha app, y lo voy a dejar destacado con una etiqueta en mi perfil.
New releases of ts-for-gir and the TypeScript type definitions for #GNOME Shell 48 are out!
You can now build native GNOME apps and shell extensions using modern, strongly-typed #TypeScript.

I love working on my #GNOME extension. I always fix one bug and create two more that don't make any sense.
Finally made some progress on a small #gtk utility using #gjs
Still in very early stage development
Written in #TypeScript
uses #adwaita widgets.

@aylamz Here you see the approximate share of recent Gnome applications by programming language: https://mastodon.social/@GerryT/113463210509263513
#Vala (and #C ?) seem to be not recommended for new projects, at least according to @ebassi . Here you see his points: https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNOME-Vala-Bassi (link to his blog at the bottom). Probably @vala_lang has a different opinion on that.
Me, not being a programmer, this would leave #Python, #Rust, and #gjs #Javascript that seem most suitable for new #Gnome #GTK4 #libadwaita projects

#GNOME #Builder issues with #SDK installment... Was attempting to click the things and avoid the terminal or good ol searching... Getting started with #OFFICIAL #tooling isn't as easy as claimed.. ;-)
ok, casual user issue aside, about the hit the gym and get this bad boy working later tonight. All to test some #GJS stuff...
P.S. Fuck the gym. ^>^
Today at 10:15 MDT (16:15 UTC), Philip Chimento, Andy Holmes, and Evan Welsh and others will present the latest JavaScript technologies available in the GNOME stack for the crowd at GUADEC 2024
Guest art i made to celebrate the 10 years run of webcomic Ghost Junk Sickness, a big fave of mine!
https://www.ghostjunksickness.com/
It is still running and will end later this year with a kickstarter for the last book of the serie, give them a read!
Just got #GJS to work with #panrpc - that means I can now use a Go application (or heck, a node app!) as a "backend" for a GJS GTK/libadwaita app in #GNOME, and call the GJS functions from Go/NodeJS and Go/NodeJS functions from GJS. The plan here is to write a GJS frontend for #Multiplex, and connect it to the Go backend using either a UNIX socket or a WebSocket so that we can use Go's WebRTC and Torrent libraries for streaming, and GJS to get proper GStreamer and libadwaita support!
