For me, it is. Well, its semi-useless enums suck, but other than that I'm quite happy with it.

Dart is natively supported outside browsers. There is the standalone VM, which you can use just like Node.js, and the VM library, which you can embed in native applications. The VM is crossplatform and it even supports ARM and MIPS. They

Maybe it would be a good idea to add a note in the meantime. I was quite confused when the module stuff was gone. I assumed it was moved to ES7, but it didn't show up there either. I finally learned the truth after googling a bit and f

by ahoge 12y ago
Bidets and washlets are the more economical option anyways. Wet wipes aren't cheap. Even if you spend $250+ on a somewhat fancier "warm water cleaning toilet seat", you'll break-even in no time. That's even true if

What does "turning into Java" even mean? What exactly are you afraid of? Having actual integers? Threads? Better tooling? The `class` keyword? It makes the code less verbose. Optional types? Would you rather write JSDoc comments

Define "get to work". I mean something like this: https://atom.io/packages/ide-flow Tool-tips, call-tips, auto-complete, type checking, and so forth. The kind of stuff you get with TypeScript or Dart.

Angular 2 is heavily inspired by AngularDart. Angular 2 has a single codebase for JS and Dart.

Flow doesn't work on Windows yet. Atom seems to be the only editor which supports it. That plugin had its 2nd release just 3 days ago.

If you add gzip compression, it's still smaller than doing the same thing with jQuery. "dart:html" provides an idiomatic DOM API where all list-like things are actually Lists, events are streams, Futures instead of callbacks,

Because Dart isn't a viable option for writing libraries or frameworks which are meant to be used from JavaScript. You can interact with JS libraries, but exposing some API to JS-land is a completely different matter. There are some va

You didn't answer my questions. I have no doubt that untooled unitypedness can be improved upon.

The inference example is actually a good illustration for why you want to add types to a function's signature. As the author mentioned, a machine can look at how the arguments are used and make some educated guesses. The big problem is

The behavior of strict mode would have broken existing code. That's why you have to opt-in. New syntax, on the other hand, can be added without breaking existing code. These new constructs would have been syntax errors beforehand.

You can't use these control characters in CSV either. The grammar from RFC 4180 excludes the 0x00 to 0x1F range.
111.
by ahoge 12y ago
From "3. MIME Type Registration of text/csv": Common usage of CSV is US-ASCII, but other character sets defined by IANA for the "text" tree may be used in conjunction with the "charset" parameter.

by ahoge 12y ago
RFC 4180 does not specify the character encoding. This isn't a problem with JSON, XML, ASN.1, Protobufs, or Thrift. Anything other than CSV, really.

by ahoge 12y ago
> what's wrong with [CSV]? The encoding, line endings, and the used separators are random. Encoding/decoding behavior may be locale-dependent. E.g. if you use Excel with a de-DE locale to create a CSV file, Excel with a en-US

In case anyone wonders about that reverse-for loop in updateCircles(): Iterating over an array in reverse allows you to remove items in the same iteration (at the very end of the loop). If you delete an item, the items which follow are down

"No framework"... so here is a framework. Uh hu. Anyhow, move that "use strict;" line into the IIFE. If it's global, you can't merge that file with other files. Some of the code out there breaks in strict mode.

The caps lock key is very useful, if you rebind it to something else. I use it for Enso, which lets you start programs, open files, spellcheck, count words, do math, and things like that. Using it to swtich between input methods is another
