You can roll out your own or use one of the existing translators which translate from haml to jinja2 syntax. Do you use slim templates? I recently wrote a hand rolled recursive decent parser which translates slim to jinja2 - https://github

You won't be needing underscore.js in coffeescript. Most of the underscore.js provides sequence abstractions and coffeescript does them out of the box. Things which aren't provided by coffeescript(and there aren't many) can be easily done i

Google is one of the few companies who would invest in this sort of PR. It's good publicity for them and also an ultra creative way to garner people's curiosity and attention. It must have been a hell lot of work(unless I am missing somethi

But there isn't much to learn while parsing JSON. It nicely maps to high level languages. It does make your knowledge of XML useless, but it doesn't has the cognitive overhead of learning something which takes time and effort.

I looked at the source for goog/ui/serverchart.js and checked the documentation(yes, in that order:)). There is no way to make it work without going through the Google chartserver.
