Jeremy Ashkenas hates cross-browser consistency
- bengillies 14y agoIf what you want is cross browser consistency of sparse arrays (that is, if you _really_ want to use them), then you should probably use ES5-shim or something instead. Jeremy Ashkenas can support or not support whichever parts of built-in array behaviour he wants, given that: a) It's his library b) It doesn't try and copy the standard ES5 API anyway
- mr_eel 14y agoUnderscore is not a kitchen-sink library. In order to keep it a terse library, Jeremy will need to constantly decide what goes in and what does not. I don't always agree with his choices, but I'm glad he's willing to be aggressive about what he believes is good. That's what makes for good libraries. Also, I must say this is a poor choice of title for a HN post. It's emotive, a generalisation and doesn't actually reflect the actual content of the link. You obviously disagree with Jeremy. Fine. But posts like this are weak.
