Call me an idiot, but nowhere on the home page does it say it's for JavaScript. The code samples looked like JS, but I don't know every language, so I wasn't sure. It's not until I got into the docs and saw "npm" was a sure we were talking about JS...

View on HN

I came to comment the same thing, having clicked through from the link and not seen the OP’s text. In my case, I searched for and found the GitHub link at the bottom of the landing page and saw the language in the repo details.

Please add “for JavaScript” to the title!

> nowhere on the home page does it say it's for JavaScript

Yeah, and it is not mentioned in the post title. It's like JS is considered the default programming language.

should probably say "JS" in the title too - there are all sorts of devs on HN afterall

it says "lfi is a lazy functional sync, async, and concurrent iteration library for JavaScript and TypeScript" when you click on the link though

has it been added since?

Yup, I added it in response to the feedback :)

That's fair! Agreed it would be good to mention on the home page :)

I did mention in the HN post description, but probably should also say so in the title

Actually, looks like HN doesn't allow me to update the HN title at this point. Sorry about that

Was gonna post some snark about assumed languages, countries, etc, now i think there could be an interesting post in that..

Should be renamed to lfi.js
