    HTTP gets a QUERY method so complex searches can stop pretending to be POST (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    "Idempotent" may be jargon, but the term performs an important job in HTTP as a hall pass that gives reverse proxies and gateways the go-ahead to cache complex query responses and automatically retry failed requests. HTTP has long allowed automatic retries for idempotent methods, but complex queries are often sent using POST, which intermediaries cannot safely assume is retryable. Developers have worked around that limitation for decades. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has published

    Read excerpt

    The Microsoft-led TypeScript 7.0 features an order-of-magnitude speed boost, a victory not only for TypeScript itself but also for Go, the programming language used to completely rewrite the web staple's compiler. Following a major rewrite effort that began with an experimental native Go implementation, this is the first stable release of the language to include its long-in-development Go-based compiler rewrite. “TypeScript 7 brings native code speed, shared memory multithreading, and a number o
