I normally don't. Unless I do something silly like use == that could be taken as a mistake.

After tinkering with the source for a bit longer, I can see that it will be very difficult to make ibniz go fast because of an inherent inter-pixel dependency in the stack. The semantics of the language seem to imply that the pixel kernel c

Is making your own demo platform going to be the new hipster coder equivalent of rolling your own framework? I hope so. I like ibniz and mako- I like the ideas here. The javascript ibniz does some extremely silly things though that are hurt

He dismissed Javascript rather quickly without really explaining why. Oh well, I guess it is javascript's lot in life to be hated and ignored. On the other hand, lua was a very good choice indeed. Lua and Javascript are very similar languag

Someone is teaching JavaScript to other people? This is nothing less than /The Downfall of Civilisation As We Know It!/. Quick everyone, get your pitchforks!
