Yep, it's just shorthand. It's something I've been using in some projects recently as an alternative to something like jQuery, so I thought it would be useful in some sense to share it! I guess this is just stemming from my v

1. Thumbs up for making loading times a priority! 2. Using Hugo instead of Octopress won't make your site any faster to users ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3. You're almost completely forgetting about server-side performance. I'd recommend

Downloaded & running on OS X. Super impressed with its performance: it opens up & scrolls smoothly through a ~40M text file just fine. Memory usage is quite high though, but that's expected with an Electron-based app.

It'll be interesting to see what the performance is like, since this has been a recurring problem with web-tech based applications (especially editors like Atom and Brackets).

Seems like it has lots of potential. The product/download site should be at http://code.visualstudio.com when it goes live later today (it's currently showing a login page).

As I mentioned below, I chose "calc.go", but that didn't work well with the `go get` command, so I had to get rid of the ".go"

The algorithm I use combines shunting-yard and postfix (RPN) evaluation, but I guess it wouldn't be too hard to modify the source to just do the RPN part. If you want to try that, the relevant code is the Evaluate function in `compute&
