You sure this wasn't just karma for attempting something as absurd as using Node and HTML5 FileSystem in a native iOS app? BTW, what you're talking about isn't a compiler error.

No node in the iOS app, just javascript. It was pretty out there to use the HTML5 FS API the way we were. It allowed us to share a _massive_ amount of our codebase between iOS, OSX, Windows and later Android though. The development efficiencies we gained from doing so were pretty incredible. Given the budgetary constraints on the project if we hand't pulled off the code sharing piece it would have been shut down a lot sooner.

  That's not even what that word means.

    Yes it is. A "synecdoche" is where you use a part to refer to the whole (or vice versa).
