This might be an extremely stupid question, but does it make sense to apply the concept of mirror neurons to ANNs?

That's a really good idea to make the future developers learn the Apple platform. But Microsoft had a better one; to buy Minecraft and add it to Visual Studio.

You forgot that Spider embraces JS prototypes instead of just adding classes, ES6 target, explicit global scope usage, string interpolation, splats, `for-in` and `for-of`, list comprehensions, existential operator, ranges, and much more. Ta

Appreciate your opinion! About the :: syntax: http://spiderlang.org/#code-safety-global-scope-usage About the extends/super syntax: http://spiderlang.org/#functions-inheritance

Definitely not the focus! The extends/super keywords are just "shortcuts" to normal prototypal inheritance. I just thought that the time machine example was pretty cool :)

Exactly. Syntax style is usually a matter of personal opinion. "Alien syntax" wasn't very objective and I should probably remove it from the website. However, ambiguous syntax is a huge problem of CoffeeScript. Read more here

This is a huge issue, and I'm still thinking about it. That's why I didn't add native require support yet. I'm hoping that the community would come up with a good idea.

You are welcome to make one! :)

Of course, but I think he meant native modularity support, which is important IMO.

I actually agree about this - two ways to do exactly the same thing is generally a bad thing when it comes to language design. But I think that a more important goal is to make the transition from Spider to JS as easy as possible.

It's not that JavaScript syntax is difficult. It's that there are some common patterns that repeat themselves so much times. For example, safe object navigation. This code in Spider/CoffeeScript: var x = a?.b?.c?.d;

I'm still unsure how to add modularity while maintaining compatibility with CommonJS, AMD, etc. I thought about adding a require statement such as: require "vm" require ( "util", "io&quot

Hobby projects - definitely, but I wouldn't use it for production projects yet. Even though Spider currently has 92% test coverage, I believe Spider still needs more testing and feedback. Make sure to report any bug you encounter so I

Of course. Swift does this as well BTW.

by alongub 12y ago
This is definitely possible. Can you open an issue in GitHub?
