About MochiKit
A practical, opinionated blog for people who ship web software.
MochiKit is a web-development and JavaScript blog for working developers and the learning-curious. Code-literate, a little opinionated, allergic to hype.
We write about the here-and-now of building for the web: JavaScript and TypeScript, the front-end frameworks, Node and the back end, APIs, the tooling that ships your code, and the craft of finishing things. Every code sample is real and correct. Every comparison earns its "which one when."
What you'll find
- JavaScript — the language itself, and the features worth knowing.
- Frameworks — React, Vue, Svelte and friends, chosen by fit not fashion.
- Back-End — Node, runtimes, APIs and the server side of the stack.
- Tooling — bundlers, linters, type-checkers, the build that ships.
- Learning — paths, fundamentals, and advice for every level.
Our stance on code
No pseudo-code, no gibberish. If a snippet appears on MochiKit, it's meant to run. See the full component system on the , and the story behind the name here.
