gollark: <@!330678593904443393> While better-sqlite3 *can* let me do what your PHP framework does, prepared statements are apparently more efficient and this is neater.
gollark: This is rendered to HTML.
gollark: Oh, and look how I write HTML:```javascript return { view(vnode) { const inputHandler = e => { value = e.target.value } if (vnode.attrs.initialValue && value === undefined || value === null) { value = vnode.attrs.initialValue } return m(".editor", [ m(".toolbar", [ m("button", { onclick: () => vnode.attrs.onsave(value, true) }, "Done"), m("button", { onclick: () => vnode.attrs.onsave(value, false) }, "Save"), m("button", { onclick: () => { previewing = !previewing } }, previewing ? "Edit" : "Preview") ]), previewing ? m(".preview", renderAST(parse(value))) : m("textarea", { value, oninput: inputHandler, onchange: inputHandler }), ]) } }```
gollark: BEES ACTIVATING.
