I straight up prefer templating for ergonomic reasons, especially when I see someone inlining higher order functions & JS control flow structures in a HTML DSL. But I can sympathise with where you're coming from, as I have not so f

Yeah it does sound quite a bit like Ember.js but without the tooling, which IMO is one of the best parts of ember

I actually remembering seeing it at some point, this guy is a pretty great presenter, glad I watched it, Thanks again for the link. Now I remember I need to go and check out small talk to see what it's he's going on about.

At first I was gonna say, this could be expressed with an object expression, but actually if you think about it object expressions don't grantee ordering of it's elements, that and you could probably don't need a reference to

"Probably speed", doesn't sound convincing... You say there are no benchmarks, but what are you suggesting this out performs?

It would be awesome to see an interactive playground for this, where people can just mess around with simple examples. I wonder if it would be simple enough to have a codepen/jsfiddle of this.

While I believe it would be nice to have a lambda version of this as it's a more general abstraction (and I believe there's something along those lines in ember), Ember makes a big emphasis on convention over configuration and thi

Coming from Haskell, I kind of dismissed it on the basis of missing a construct like interfaces/protocols/traits/type-classes, and started checking out purescript instead which is closer to Haskell. Eventually stopped using p

What's going on with the zalgo text? Is this an aesthetic choice, or is this a legitimate rending issue? http://i.imgur.com/tryjhMi.png

I think document.createElement could of been prone to memory leaks, as dom objects cannot be freed on the C++ side if it's still accessible from JS, which can be difficult to judge sometimes https://blog.mozilla.org/res

Well unlike third party plugins (such as java, flash, ect) wasm will be executed by the browser (like JS) and likely won't have the same privileges that java/flash have while running.

When I first tried typescript I was disappointed with the lack of support for ES6 features like destructuring assignment, template strings, and other things I had in coffeescript. It's nice to see that this will soon change! I'll

My favourite feature is promises, while it doesn't add a new syntax and you can probably add a library for it, the fact it's standardised makes a world of difference. Now that it's standardised 1. It will become the common in

I'd imagine you could compile them both down to the same thing, as there has to be a conditional at some point to determine what code to run (unless there was some kind of dynamic dispatch), I think it's just a matter of preferenc

Purescript is interesting, I've been trying to build a project in it over the last few months. Since it's still pre 1.0, it has proven difficult but understandably so. It's mostly due to arcane/vague error messages (whic

If you have OS X, you could probably pop open Grapher and try a few curves there. But if you don't, I'm sure there's some web app for visualising curves as well.

In LiveScript there's syntax to explicitly omit any return value, it's just a function with !-> instead of -> for the arrow.

Semi relevant, but could anyone recommend any decent javascript libraries for audio analysis and synthesis?
