First of all, project looks great! Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I've been impressed with other WebRTC demos, including http://vmux.co which is similar but uses Twitter to authenticate. My slightly less posit

Well shoot, the $80 ones from zte_us are all sold out (probably because of this article!) and it's now going on eBay for quite a bit more — I see some $120 and up. I didn't buy one of these before because I wasn't sure what U

Offtopic: your employer MyEdu constantly spammed me throughout college with emails pretending to be from a university affiliate, when you had just slurped everyone's email from the public contact database. The intent was clearly to dec

Thanks; great response. I had forgotten about crossovers. I did a little project in CLJS and found the additional power of the language nice, but not revolutionary. I've found getting into Node.js that despite the well-known warts of J

This is definitely some impressive performance. In Firefox 24 the core.async example is significantly faster than When.js on average (though in repeated trials, the running times vary over wide (and overlapping) ranges). Some commenters see

Huh, hadn't heard of Clooj. Another Clojure IDE written in Clojure is Nightcode: http://nightcode.info/ It's open source under the Unlicense, but very young — even the early releases of Light Table may be more pol

Yup, this is the one I'm used to and it weirds me out when it's not supported. Apparently unheard of on OS X though, which is probably why so many web devs make sites that break it by stealing PgUp/PgDn.

Hey Chris, you mentioned watching people use Light Table, but have you done any full usability studies? At the startup where I work (also aimed mostly at programmers), we've had great luck with usability studies. Basic idea: bring in 3

That's not quite what Eliot said either. From elsewhere in this thread, 'foolrush points to this: http://nancyprager.wordpress.com/2007/05/08/good-poets-borro...

This should be in your article! :) It motivates the technique much better.

Unfortunately I don't use those editors — maybe you can write a Vim highlighter next? Might also be worth adding syntax highlighting to the website (even if you have to do it manually for now), if you're set on the current syntax

On the one hand, this comment has the kernel of a legitimate criticism in it, and gets across why I probably won't use this language in a real project. On the other hand, that's so rude! Not every project has to be the next Coffee

I also vote for 'await' here. The 'wait for friends from' construct looks too much like BASIC for my liking. It's not clear which terms are built into the language ('wait', 'for', 'from'

Respectfully, is it possible you've confused Q with something else? I compressed and minified both caolan/async and kriskowal/q. Result: async is 3.4 KB, q is 4.1 KB. I grant you that mbostock's queue is even smaller, bu

I love the Clojure collection types: basing a whole language around persistent data structures is an unbelievable win. There is a library for Julia that adds collection types similar to Clojure's[1]. My understanding is it's not

I've been a little more impressed with Derby ( http://derbyjs.com/ ) than Meteor, as it's based on similar concepts, but plays well with the rest of the Node/JS ecosystem (for example, it uses npm), has server-

You can't write a kernel in Go because it has a mandatory runtime system and garbage collection. However, Mozilla's Rust language is similar in some ways, can work runtime-less, and a small demo kernel has been written in it: htt

Interesting! I tried mint with black tea and wasn't a fan. To me, they were two great tastes that did not go great together. But I love mint with green tea or yerba mate. I'm surprised it mixes with coffee.

You can also press Up arrow, Ctrl-A to go back to the beginning of the line, add "sudo " and enter. This type of thing also works in most REPLs (Python, irb, Node, etc.)

I confess I had the exact same thought as moomin. The context (how your project relates to core.async) is valuable to have, and it may be worth going back and adding it to your blog post. Also, just as sort of a "marketing" thing,

This is what Mozilla does lately with new HTML5 capabilities in Firefox (e.g. desktop notifications, camera access, location access, local storage), and presumably is also how Firefox OS works. I agree, it's a nice way to do things.

And my point is that even going through this legal reasoning is more work than just saying, "Fuck it, I'll use the MIT license."

Ultimately I care more about avoiding the increased risk of the ISC license than about saving a few lines. It would be silly if trying to make my license statement a few insignificant lines shorter prevented someone from using my open-sourc

Are there any good visualizations for this data? It'd be cool to be able to like, filter it, see it on an interactive map by state, etc.
