No LESS is a stylesheet language that compiles down to CSS. Javascript isn't involved at all, unless you use their script tool to run uncompiled LESS in the browser. That is only meant for prototyping though, in production it will be

Node.js 0.11 supports generators, which appear to be very similar to what you're describing: http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2013/12/21/experiments-with-...

Sublime has very solid support for VI keybindings using a plugin that ships with the editor but is disabled by default.

Fair enough. I think the "tightly coupled to ember" part is what left a bad taste with me. Obviously the ember community is free to use whatever they want. But if the build tool is only useful for ember (and the "ember&quo

Inventing their own build tools instead of using a Grunt plugin seems like a severe case of NIH for ember. I'd be curious to hear their rationale beyond "the currently-available options all have fatal flaws that make them unpleas

oh cool. In my head when I see that I just think spammy popup :) I can't recall seeing it used for a legitimate purpose. But yeah that would accomplish what you're describing.

If I understand what you're saying correctly, I don't believe you can invokee a constructor defined in one window within another window ever. Javascript code is sandboxed to its current window/session in all browsers. You c

Yes. They're generally performance and reading nightmares. But this is a very clever usage.

"it overwrites how require is actually supposed to be used" According to whom? RequireJS is an implementation of the AMD spec.

Overaggressive learning algorithms can in some cases be more annoying than well thought out defaults. Especially since they won't be consistent (at least at first). Its not an easy thing to do right. For things like spreadsheet form

Note that this was written in 2001 when the statement "every piece of software I use is downloaded from the internet" would have been ridiculous at the time. Not saying your point isn't valid, but just pointing out that its
