ONNEMI-4211

My new software philosophy:

One Language
No Config
No Build
Everything Is A Module
Modules Are 150 Lines
Imperative Is Best

And...

Set wrap at 42 character width
1:1 expressions and lines

That's ONNEMI-4211.

O — One Language

• No CSS, HTML, macros, build flags, etc. Construct all assets, start all services, generate all build artifacts imperatively in the same language you are coding in.

N — No Config

• Switches, addresses, hashes, application structure, all must be written in function calls, not keys in a config file.

• (If you are using a Makefile, your whole application is written in make. If you have a webpack.config.js, your whole app is written inside it)

N — No Build

• Can be started by compiling or running one file

E — Everything Is Module

• No dependencies implicit in filesystem, environment switches, build descriptors, etc. All libraries communicate with other libraries through formal interfaces in the language you are coding in

M — Modules Are 150 Lines

• They’ll grow to 600 but they want to be 150

I — Imperative Is Best

• Pass data to procedures. Don't enter namespaces. Don't pass flags.

• Try not to have keys on objects that stick around and affect different pieces of code at different times. As much as possible try to use objects in the same module that created them

Wrap lines at 48 character width

1:1 — One expressions per line

• You may type [ some symbols (including var, function, etc), [ some identifierish possibly, and some separator symbols ], [ another identifierish or any string up to... ], some exit symbols ]

• Anything after that, like an identifierish followed by a (, is dropped to the next line and indented

• Identifierish is only strings, names, and numbers

• All block punctuation goes at the end of a line of code

That's ONNEMI-4211.

Sample code

library.define(
  "hello world",[
  "web-site",
  "web-element",
  "browser-bridge"],
  function(WebSite, element, BrowserBridge) {

    var site = new WebSite()

    site.start(
      3444)

    var page = element(
      ".salu",
      "hello world")
      
    var baseBridge = new BrowserBridge()

    baseBridge.addToHead(
      element.stylesheet(
       element.style(
         ".salu",{
         "font-style": "italic",
         "font-size": "1.5em"})))
   
    site.addRoute(
      "get",
      "/",
      function(_, response) {
        var bridge = baseBridge.forResponse(
          response)
        bridge.send(
          page)})})
