It got attention before it was associated with Google. It was created by a googler, but it wasn't a Google project from the beginning.

Invented? You are missing the point. The comments are written in a markup language (Markdown, UBB, whatever...) which is then converted to HTML. It's transformed and not displayed as-is.

No, they are not. It's not directly spit into an element with white-space: pre-line or white-space: pre. It's converted into paragraphs. Just like stuff inside asterisks is converted into emphasis.

Paragraphs and emphasis are frequently used here.

That's GitHub's CSS. They could set `tab-size` to 4, but they just left it at the default of 8.

It's not like SpiderMonkey starts up instantaneously. Also, an interpreter is of course slower than the quick and dirty native code generated by V8. JSC doesn't seem to have an advantage in the extremely short-running SunSpider be

SIMD makes JS a better compile target. The Dart VM is still more "lightweight" (it has to generate a lot less native code) and it offers much faster startup (10x). There also aren't deoptimization traps scattered all over the

I'm really exited about binary data support. The timing is amazingly convenient. It's exactly what I needed right now. Coming from CouchDB, support for attachments (=binary data) was the only thing I was missing.

CouchDB doesn't support ad hoc queries. CouchDB is all about MapReduce and heavy caching. It's very rigid.

I'd say RethinkDB does it best. You just chain some regular function calls and pass some lambdas here and there. It looks and feels very natural. Plus, that "data explorer" thing lets you test those queries quickly. Generatin

For one, a language specification is mandatory if you want to standardize it (ECMA, ISO, JIS, ...). Secondly, it paves the way for competing implementations. Having more implementations automatically means more performance, because they com
