Your example arbitrarily indents and new-lines. If that's what's on the table, then nothing is really going to help you. if (x > 100) { console .log('hello') } else { console.log ('world

If it lets people write lisp with the same ease of writing Javascript or Python (i.e. without investing time learning a tool specifically for editing s-expressions), then that's an advantage over Paredit kinda like Sublime's advan

This is a good point. I immediately dismissed Clojure when I played with the in-browser REPL http://www.tryclj.com/ . Within moments, I imagined the daily plight of the professional Clojure developer tediously balancing pare

I think the simplest static site generator is a command that visits all of your routes and saves the response html into a `build/` folder. That way you can use whichever framework/stack/templating/database you're al

I noticed some choose-your-own-adventure games on Steam (Zombie Exodus, Tin Star) built with ChoiceScript[0], a markup that seems to build into a full interactive game deliverable complete with state tracking and html forms for user input&#

Also, once I started accumulating projects on Heroku, I appreciated the consistency across maintaining, managing, and deploying those projects. Meanwhile every time I'd deploy a new project to Linode, I'd use a different deploy sc

If there's a way to edit boxes/lines once you draw them to address kgen's point, I've never been able to figure it out in asciiflow.

Alternatively, I would think that gzip does a good job of factoring out repeatedly embedded user objects.

Why do you feel such an urgency to keep up with everything and scavenge for alternate implementations?

yohoho22 was disarming the sarcasm by specifying that the article already made the point literally.

Not everyone wants an "experience" every time they need to feed their stomach a morsel of food. People are pretty capable of deciding that for themselves. No need to try to convince anyone what kind of appetite they should have fo

I use a 13" Macbook Air and find it to be perfect, though I don't think 15" is unwieldy, even if you're like me and work from couches/cafes frequently. Laptops are just so thin and light these days that 15" har

Interesting. My experience with jackfruit trees has been from the western coast of Mexico, so maybe there's a difference there. Though a google image search for "jackfruit tree" seems to show the trees I'm familiar with.

What makes jackfruit trees such a sight to behold is how much fruit is accessible at waist/shoulder height (along with, of course, its sheer size).

Well, the more you rely on a strong signal like that, the easier it is to get phished by sufficient approximations.

I use Koa ("Express' successor") which uses co/generators to let you write familiar sync-looking code.

Owning a website does not mean it funds 100% of your life or makes any money at all for that matter.

Is it really a good, constructive point, though? Boo hoo, too big? Having to make concessions drools? The cutting edge of building xplat desktop apps with browser tech involves independently bundling Node and Chromium, so it's gonna we

You get to use a similar kit that you're already using for webdev. For example, the only time I've maintained a proficiency in both a webdev stack and a native kit was when I was paid to work on both full-time. Node's main ap

There are always trade-offs. For example, I'd rather read explicit 100 lines of explicit SQL than the 10 liner Active Record abstractions I've had to come back to on my old Rails projects. It turns out that the 10 liner forces you

It's your fiber agenda. My mother used it to try to make me eat my brussels sprouts and I thwarted that, too.

Well, I was earnestly sharing run-of-the-mill Koa code since you made async abstractions sound elusive. Didn't realize you just had an agenda. The thing is that people are actually using Koa/co to solve this problem. I've yet
