A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

Frameworks and libraries are nice but I encourage everyone to try building with nothing but standard libs at least once.

Most modern languages already come with good http libs, encoders/decoders, etc. so it's not too much work to setup an http server to handle requests, serving static files, json, etc.

See how far you can get.
Even on the client side you can just use standard dom manipulation and css.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

good side effect is that it's gpt friendly maintenable code

cookin' @askgina.eth https://askgina.ai, @consensys class '17 - INTP

That's a good point.
.
Also, LLMs can help you gain the dev velocity that using a lib or framework could've.

I guess there are some exception like async rust lol (personally, probs skill issue)

oh man
yeah rust is tough to onboard to 

llms don't know latest crate versions, aws sdk especially 

still have a place in my heart though for rust, shit just works 
shame bout compilation times

I experienced that. I was trying out Rust and using it in WASM. LLMs just kept spitting out wrong things when writing an async func.

I ended my exploration of Rust and used Go instead. 😅
