A document surfaced today pointing that Deno will stop using TypeScript in its internal code, citing several problems with the current environment. Issues mentioned involve TypeScript compiling times, structuring and code organization, among others. Moving forward, Deno will use pure JavaScript for its internal code.
The unfavorable situations that the Deno team is currently experiencing while using TypeScript for its internal code are:
The Deno team aims to remove all build-time TS type checking and bundling for internal Deno code. They’re looking forward to move all the runtime code into a single JavaScript file. However, they’ll still use a companion d.ts file to keep the type definitions and documentation.
It’s worth mentioning that Deno will stop using TypeScript only for the internal Deno code: the Deno user code will still be in TypeScript and thus type checked.
While TypeScript is sometimes seen as an improved version of JavaScript, this case is showing that in fact, it’s not. It has flaws like any other language. One of the most important ones is its slow compilation time. While small projects might not see a huge spike in compilation time when switching from pure JavaScript to TypeScript, it will be noticeable in large projects like a complex React app. Given the large size of its runtime, it’s not surprising that Deno will stop using TypeScript.
The safety of type checking during development does have its cost at compilation time. It’s not without reason that the TypeScript project has an extensive document on how to address and improve compilation time. One of the most interesting approaches is to use Project References, that allows developers to break apart a big TypeScript piece of code into smaller pieces.

Perl script converts PDF files to Gerber format
Pdf2Gerb generates Gerber 274X photoplotting and Excellon drill files from PDFs of a PCB. Up to three PDFs are used: the top copper layer, the bottom copper layer (for 2-sided PCBs), and an optional silk screen layer. The PDFs can be created directly from any PDF drawing software, or a PDF print driver can be used to capture the Print output if the drawing software does not directly support output to PDF.
The general workflow is as follows:
Please note that Pdf2Gerb does NOT perform DRC (Design Rule Checks), as these will vary according to individual PCB manufacturer conventions and capabilities. Also note that Pdf2Gerb is not perfect, so the output files must always be checked before submitting them. As of version 1.6, Pdf2Gerb supports most PCB elements, such as round and square pads, round holes, traces, SMD pads, ground planes, no-fill areas, and panelization. However, because it interprets the graphical output of a Print function, there are limitations in what it can recognize (or there may be bugs).
See docs/Pdf2Gerb.pdf for install/setup, config, usage, and other info.
#Pdf2Gerb config settings:
#Put this file in same folder/directory as pdf2gerb.pl itself (global settings),
#or copy to another folder/directory with PDFs if you want PCB-specific settings.

HAML-Lint
haml-lint
is a tool to help keep your HAML files clean and readable. In addition to HAML-specific style and lint checks, it integrates with RuboCop to bring its powerful static analysis tools to your HAML documents.
You can run haml-lint
manually from the command line, or integrate it into your SCM hooks.
gem install haml_lint
If you'd rather install haml-lint
using bundler
, don't require
it in your Gemfile
:
gem 'haml_lint', require: false
Then you can still use haml-lint
from the command line, but its source code won't be auto-loaded inside your application.
Run haml-lint
from the command line by passing in a directory (or multiple directories) to recursively scan:
haml-lint app/views/
You can also specify a list of files explicitly:
haml-lint app/**/*.html.haml
haml-lint
will output any problems with your HAML, including the offending filename and line number.
haml-lint
assumes all files are encoded in UTF-8.
Command Line Flag | Description |
---|---|
--auto-gen-config | Generate a configuration file acting as a TODO list |
--auto-gen-exclude-limit | Number of failures to allow in the TODO list before the entire rule is excluded |
-c /--config | Specify which configuration file to use |
-e /--exclude | Exclude one or more files from being linted |
-i /--include-linter | Specify which linters you specifically want to run |
-x /--exclude-linter | Specify which linters you don't want to run |
-r /--reporter | Specify which reporter you want to use to generate the output |
-p /--parallel | Run linters in parallel using available CPUs |
--fail-fast | Specify whether to fail after the first file with lint |
--fail-level | Specify the minimum severity (warning or error) for which the lint should fail |
--[no-]color | Whether to output in color |
--[no-]summary | Whether to output a summary in the default reporter |
--show-linters | Show all registered linters |
--show-reporters | Display available reporters |
-h /--help | Show command line flag documentation |
-v /--version | Show haml-lint version |
-V /--verbose-version | Show haml-lint , haml , and ruby version information |
haml-lint
will automatically recognize and load any file with the name .haml-lint.yml
as a configuration file. It loads the configuration based on the directory haml-lint
is being run from, ascending until a configuration file is found. Any configuration loaded is automatically merged with the default configuration (see config/default.yml
).
Here's an example configuration file:
linters:
ImplicitDiv:
enabled: false
severity: error
LineLength:
max: 100
All linters have an enabled
option which can be true
or false
, which controls whether the linter is run, along with linter-specific options. The defaults are defined in config/default.yml
.
Option | Description |
---|---|
enabled | If false , this linter will never be run. This takes precedence over any other option. |
include | List of files or glob patterns to scope this linter to. This narrows down any files specified via the command line. |
exclude | List of files or glob patterns to exclude from this linter. This excludes any files specified via the command line or already filtered via the include option. |
severity | The severity of the linter. External tools consuming haml-lint output can use this to determine whether to warn or error based on the lints reported. |
The exclude
global configuration option allows you to specify a list of files or glob patterns to exclude from all linters. This is useful for ignoring third-party code that you don't maintain or care to lint. You can specify a single string or a list of strings for this option.
Some static blog generators such as Jekyll include leading frontmatter to the template for their own tracking purposes. haml-lint
allows you to ignore these headers by specifying the skip_frontmatter
option in your .haml-lint.yml
configuration:
skip_frontmatter: true
The inherits_from
global configuration option allows you to specify an inheritance chain for a configuration file. It accepts either a scalar value of a single file name or a vector of multiple files to inherit from. The inherited files are resolved in a first in, first out order and with "last one wins" precedence. For example:
inherits_from:
- .shared_haml-lint.yml
- .personal_haml-lint.yml
First, the default configuration is loaded. Then the .shared_haml-lint.yml
configuration is loaded, followed by .personal_haml-lint.yml
. Each of these overwrite each other in the event of a collision in configuration value. Once the inheritance chain is resolved, the base configuration is loaded and applies its rules to overwrite any in the intermediate configuration.
Lastly, in order to match your RuboCop configuration style, you can also use the inherit_from
directive, which is an alias for inherits_from
.
haml-lint
is an opinionated tool that helps you enforce a consistent style in your HAML files. As an opinionated tool, we've had to make calls about what we think are the "best" style conventions, even when there are often reasonable arguments for more than one possible style. While all of our choices have a rational basis, we think that the opinions themselves are less important than the fact that haml-lint
provides us with an automated and low-cost means of enforcing consistency.
Add the following to your configuration file:
require:
- './relative/path/to/my_first_linter.rb'
- 'absolute/path/to/my_second_linter.rb'
The files that are referenced by this config should have the following structure:
module HamlLint
# MyFirstLinter is the name of the linter in this example, but it can be anything
class Linter::MyFirstLinter < Linter
include LinterRegistry
def visit_tag
return unless node.tag_name == 'div'
record_lint(node, "You're not allowed divs!")
end
end
end
For more information on the different types on HAML node, please look through the HAML parser code: https://github.com/haml/haml/blob/master/lib/haml/parser.rb
Keep in mind that by default your linter will be disabled by default. So you will need to enable it in your configuration file to have it run.
One or more individual linters can be disabled locally in a file by adding a directive comment. These comments look like the following:
-# haml-lint:disable AltText, LineLength
[...]
-# haml-lint:enable AltText, LineLength
You can disable all linters for a section with the following:
-# haml-lint:disable all
A directive will disable the given linters for the scope of the block. This scope is inherited by child elements and sibling elements that come after the comment. For example:
-# haml-lint:disable AltText
#content
%img#will-not-show-lint-1{ src: "will-not-show-lint-1.png" }
-# haml-lint:enable AltText
%img#will-show-lint-1{ src: "will-show-lint-1.png" }
.sidebar
%img#will-show-lint-2{ src: "will-show-lint-2.png" }
%img#will-not-show-lint-2{ src: "will-not-show-lint-2.png" }
The #will-not-show-lint-1
image on line 2 will not raise an AltText
lint because of the directive on line 1. Since that directive is at the top level of the tree, it applies everywhere.
However, on line 4, the directive enables the AltText
linter for the remainder of the #content
element's content. This means that the #will-show-lint-1
image on line 5 will raise an AltText
lint because it is a sibling of the enabling directive that appears later in the #content
element. Likewise, the #will-show-lint-2
image on line 7 will raise an AltText
lint because it is a child of a sibling of the enabling directive.
Lastly, the #will-not-show-lint-2
image on line 8 will not raise an AltText
lint because the enabling directive on line 4 exists in a separate element and is not a sibling of the it.
If there are multiple directives for the same linter in an element, the last directive wins. For example:
-# haml-lint:enable AltText
%p Hello, world!
-# haml-lint:disable AltText
%img#will-not-show-lint{ src: "will-not-show-lint.png" }
There are two conflicting directives for the AltText
linter. The first one enables it, but the second one disables it. Since the disable directive came later, the #will-not-show-lint
element will not raise an AltText
lint.
You can use this functionality to selectively enable directives within a file by first using the haml-lint:disable all
directive to disable all linters in the file, then selectively using haml-lint:enable
to enable linters one at a time.
Adding a new linter into a project that wasn't previously using one can be a daunting task. To help ease the pain of starting to use Haml-Lint, you can generate a configuration file that will exclude all linters from reporting lint in files that currently have lint. This gives you something similar to a to-do list where the violations that you had when you started using Haml-Lint are listed for you to whittle away, but ensuring that any views you create going forward are properly linted.
To use this functionality, call Haml-Lint like:
haml-lint --auto-gen-config
This will generate a .haml-lint_todo.yml
file that contains all existing lint as exclusions. You can then add inherits_from: .haml-lint_todo.yml
to your .haml-lint.yml
configuration file to ensure these exclusions are used whenever you call haml-lint
.
By default, any rules with more than 15 violations will be disabled in the todo-file. You can increase this limit with the auto-gen-exclude-limit
option:
haml-lint --auto-gen-config --auto-gen-exclude-limit 100
If you use vim
, you can have haml-lint
automatically run against your HAML files after saving by using the Syntastic plugin. If you already have the plugin, just add let g:syntastic_haml_checkers = ['haml_lint']
to your .vimrc
.
If you use vim
8+ or Neovim
, you can have haml-lint
automatically run against your HAML files as you type by using the Asynchronous Lint Engine (ALE) plugin. ALE will automatically lint your HAML files if it detects haml-lint
in your PATH
.
If you use SublimeLinter 3
with Sublime Text 3
you can install the SublimeLinter-haml-lint plugin using Package Control.
If you use atom
, you can install the linter-haml plugin.
If you use TextMate 2
, you can install the Haml-Lint.tmbundle bundle.
If you use Visual Studio Code
, you can install the Haml Lint extension
If you'd like to integrate haml-lint
into your Git workflow, check out our Git hook manager, overcommit.
To execute haml-lint
via a Rake task, make sure you have rake
included in your gem path (e.g. via Gemfile
) add the following to your Rakefile
:
require 'haml_lint/rake_task'
HamlLint::RakeTask.new
By default, when you execute rake haml_lint
, the above configuration is equivalent to running haml-lint .
, which will lint all .haml
files in the current directory and its descendants.
You can customize your task by writing:
require 'haml_lint/rake_task'
HamlLint::RakeTask.new do |t|
t.config = 'custom/config.yml'
t.files = ['app/views', 'custom/*.haml']
t.quiet = true # Don't display output from haml-lint to STDOUT
end
You can also use this custom configuration with a set of files specified via the command line:
# Single quotes prevent shell glob expansion
rake 'haml_lint[app/views, custom/*.haml]'
Files specified in this manner take precedence over the task's files
attribute.
Code documentation is generated with YARD and hosted by RubyDoc.info.
We love getting feedback with or without pull requests. If you do add a new feature, please add tests so that we can avoid breaking it in the future.
Speaking of tests, we use Appraisal to test against both HAML 4 and 5. We use rspec
to write our tests. To run the test suite, execute the following from the root directory of the repository:
appraisal bundle install
appraisal bundle exec rspec
All major discussion surrounding HAML-Lint happens on the GitHub issues page.
