The page crashed in Chrome, fyi (EDIT: once. I think it was an ad that was served). Also, I'm hesitant to call anything regarding enums and State Machines a "secret", no matter the language. What IS cool about Java enums, though, is that

It depends on the person. Different people have different motivations for wanting an article deleted: - Purism with respect to Wikipedia policies (I would place this example in this category) - Ideological commitment to notions about what

It's a valid point, but it paints with too broad of a brush. For example, I have enthusiastically moved from JavaScript to CoffeeScript, in part because I love the syntax. While I know there are programmers who act just like you describe

I still don't understand why Google doesn't just support Wikipedia. That whole "knowl" thing didn't work out that well... it would almost be a feel-good thing for them. Hell, google.org could do it on behalf of the parent corporation as a

This started out life as something for a larger project, but I quickly spun it off into its own project when I realized it would be useful on its own. This is early code, I wouldn't consider it appropriate for production use just yet. Feedb
