Good constructive feedback. I thought about it, so one of the next days when I get time, I'll add a little 'Limit Width' button up on top. It'll be freeflow by default, but just one click for those who prefer a narrower format.

Of course. It started with a pdf/lyx version based on the 400Kb eloquent text file, now the tools (elyxer) made it possible to convert to html with some manual fixes. It would be great to add interactivity next. Not sure when next will be t

Thanks. I will look into what more I can do tomorrow with the Readability and Kindle documentation, maybe some tweaks to CSS or something.

Something new is the in-progress cocoa graphics layer. If you try to compile p9p on Mac OS X then you may encounter a problem compiling devdraw. I did, when I recently tried from the download. Getting the code from the repository instead fi

Indeed. I was just thinking I could try it on the device my neighbor has: A very cheap android 2.2 tablet with a resistive screen and pen, no multitouch. Never mind, it can hardly run android apps. The [Octopus project]( http://lsub.org/ls/

Wow! Can it run acme? I'm wondering because "treats the touchscreen like a one-button mouse" If so, how is the right and middle click used? Anyway utterly cool stuff!

You can adapt some of the benchmark programs from http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ I can not see it being used for much except trying a new language or a benchmark. The compilation performance reminds me of the 'beloved' time sharing sy

I like the concept - really nice. It would be cool to see an update of Calculize use a math library instead of JavaScript numbers. In Calculize: a = 1/3 show a+a+a+a+a+a == 6*a # => false show pow 9,18 #

A temporary workaround for newlines is to copy/paste them in the box. Adding the bookmarklet and then going to http://arcturo.github.com/library/coffeescript/ gives a good way of experimenting with CoffeeScript.

Smooth CoffeeScript is a book about programming, problem solving, looking into how algorithms work, and learning from it. Those things really appealed to me in Eloquent JavaScript. Smooth CoffeeScript uses CoffeeScript because it can expres

Well, I did not say that I really wanted to support other formats. Here are my reasons: JavaScript has always possessed an inner, lisp-like beauty. CoffeeScript allows that beauty to shine through the surface of the syntax. I have tried in

Several of the examples in "smooth" are quite different from "eloquent" and use a http or websocket server, so they require the node.js runtime environment and can not run only in a browser. The setup I use is to have the text next to me on
