Hate to nitpick, but blatant linkbait headline. It's not 80 lines of JavaScript. It's 80 lines of javascript + thousands more lines of JavaScript in the form of libraries.
- wccrawford 16y agoYup, same as any language that has libraries. It's not that surprising. The point is that you can create similar feats with a similarly small amount of code.
- mckoss 16y agoPoint taken. Some of the libraries are like the air we breath (e.g., jQuery) - I even forgot to mention it on the link page. My point was with 80 lines of "purpose built" code - you can create a functioning wiki. But we do stand on the shoulders of giants - I hope I gave proper attribution.
- moe 16y ago+ thousands more lines of JavaScript in the form of libraries. And let's not forget the millions of lines for the browser and the underlying operating system!
- axod 16y agoMy point, is that "80 lines of javascript" is technically incorrect. There's no point to mention how many lines of code it is, unless it's actually true.
