As a Vimmer, I'm in the slow process of transitioning. I actually write plugins for the languages I use and the API in Sublime is actually really great. The main thing holding me up from daily use is that the bugs in Vintage make me crazy a

With today's Nightly I'm getting ~20fps on a 3.4 GHz Core i7 iMac but with drops into the 7fps range on some video transitions. Surprisingly, I get roughly the same perf with a current Aurora as well but the drops only go down to ~12fps. Tr

Missing: - Text Objects - :help text-object - Not a true motion, but ctrl-i/o are very handy. :help ^i - Remember that % searches forward on the same line to matching bracket so d% at the beginning of a function call deletes the entire call

I don't mean to disparage backbone. It's simple in both design and implementation. I had my own KVO system I was using on a project when you announced backbone and I wrote a 10 line patch to add computed attrs and dropped my system for your

I've been following ClojureScript with mild interest but letting the clojure enthusiasts make the cowpaths. What I haven't seen is how clojurescript significantly improves DOM interaction. I agree that the core problem of client side develo

I respectfully disagree. I've been a Vim user for 10 years. I've written half a dozen plugins and customized another 15 or so in addition to writing several syntax/indent files. I decided to take a look at Sublime last week when I noticed t

Any discussion of Vim that lacks mention of text objects is under serving the editor. Text objects and repeat are by far the best features of the editor.

I noticed text objects, %, `, ctrl-i/o, and ctrl-r missing from my most common set of edit commands. That's actually pretty good since t/f are implemented and you can fake a lot of text objects with those. Also, the underlying ace undo/redo

Much of your difficulty/effort is due to lack of familiarity. The rule is basically if you see an identifier followed by a space, it's a function call that ends with the line, outdent, or postfix control flow statement. An identifier follow

The random comma in the yui example can be eliminated fairly easily. It being there is due to Coffeescript not being able to support the following call style when I initially wrote the shim. YUI.module = function(o, f) { var n

The optional parens is something I personally go back and forth on. I went through a phase where I always left them off but have been moving back towards using them most of the time. The holdout is for calling things that take functional ar

To me the most convenient thing about it is the auto-declaring variables and proper loops. Whether the sugar is worth it or not comes down to taste. I used Python as my primary language from 2001-2007 before switching to Javascript/Coffeesc

Graphic Design Grids (GDG) are about creating a unified layout with a rigid horizontal and vertical rhythm. The CSS Grid Layout (CSSG), on the other hand, are more about creating a flexible 2d layout. You can make CSSG do the same thing as

The 'fr' unit is "fraction of available space" and comes from the w3c proposal. I believe the second example is incorrect in that the 1fr column should be 7md wide.

It's a simple expression evaluator evaluating a + 2 * b with a = 1 and b = 2. The fun part is that it's all done using only the one recursive Evaluate function with everything else being driven by the type system and pattern matching. The e
