It looks like only Javascript devs are welcome. :\
- jhoffner 14y agoAll devs are welcome! We just had to start somewhere for the tests but the community is language agnostic.
- charonn0 14y agoGranted you have to start somewhere, but the second challenge (appears) to not only be JS-specific, but specific to the Prototype JS library.
- jhoffner 14y agoJS is a prototype based language. I think the word prototype might be throwing you off but its a core concept within JavaScript.
- paulhodge 14y agoYeah, there's a huge Javascript bias. When they describe a dev with 7 to 10 years experience as: "Web Hipster; I was using AJAX before it was even called AJAX.", it's a bit like hearing nails on a chalkboard.
- devcpp 14y agoI think the AJAX thing is just because 7 to 10 years ago, AJAX was not called AJAX (the term was coined in 2005). As for Javascript, it is by far the easiest to implement online, so it's good for a prototype. I don't think it's supposed to remain that way, as subscribers are allowed to choose their favorite dev area.
- pjmlp 14y agoYeah, just gave up after realizing that.
- nicholassmith 14y agoI was a bit put off, but it's mostly basic JS and Googleable for the sticky parts.
- jballanc 14y agoIf something more Lisp-ish is your style, you can also check out 4clojure.org . Same kind of idea (just not presented quite the same).
