its a tad more complex that you would imagine from the get go. Certain coding patterns don't work well with closure; for example obj["name"] = a and elsewhere obj.name will cause issues. Of course it would make a lot of sen

the problem is that you will still include the whole of jquery given that it is passed in through an externs file to the compiler.

Mockito easily leads to a false belief that code is tested. Mocking dependencies and simply asserting those mocks is useless yet I see that all the time.

what impact will this have on the web component standard implementation in webkit?

i mean teams of 20-25 people, working with millions of lines of code over all the modules, that has to be regressed the whole time. Big for the tech stack it is. This is not counting our bucketloads of java and scala code as well.

the use of bind with event listeners will lead to memory leaks since you have no way of removing the event listener, given that you don't have access to the function bind returns (at least in the code examples the writer created).

we use java to render our templates on the server side. https://developers.google.com/closure/templates/ And yes response times, it makes a massive massive difference in perceived responses. Our stack is the same

I create fully fledged JS apps on a big scale, the difference from this test to reality is startling. The difference is I enforce the use of the closure compiler in our team so 99% of these issues are caught by the compiler. end of story. t

we use rhino for some types of testing. brutally slow.

i assume you work on the team at FB. Are you considering writing jsx compilers for platforms like the jvm?

I started with this line: >initial rendering should definitely be on the server this technique is called pre-rendering, and yes, I am amazed people don't do it. "PyExecJS (which just uses raw JavaScriptCore)." this seems

initial rendering should definitely be on the server, his premise to render content on the server side and then async load it in is flawed, he adds latency and the dom still has to parse a string at the end of the day and put them on the di

<<harsh criticism - i feel bad for, yet I also feel the standards are too low in general>> pre-rendering the board on the server would have solved his perceived problem immediately. then in more detail: layout thrashing only now

blocked rendering works, but reuse of existing dom components do not. much cheaper to break it into the list item and render around your display area in larger blocks than you would if you use native. detaching from the dom changing is chea

I agree with you 100%, reading is a much better way to absorb information with fewer emotional strings available for the plucking with yer brain in a more rational state. We all however know people who got through university without ever re

There was no push for war. The apartheid government just wanted to finish their plundering and not be liable for the economic position they created.

We moved back to SA a week after Mandela was released. My thoughts on SA as someone who saw this goal of transformation fail. Mandela was an incredible humanist, more so than people realise. his government was run on charm, persuasion and

"I didn't know there was a dubbed version." "The original version is so much better." ? was it remade? ps. I have also not seen a dubbed one, but it is obviously subtitled.

The thing that will break your code is this type of notation this['function'] since the compiler can have no idea what renaming should apply. There are aspects of the library that lets you expose public apis. I can really recommen

I am wondering the same thing. I would imagine that if your whole stack (especially build system) is built ontop of javascript you could have a level of meta programming via esprima, but the rest is bla

I am in the dark, the pasge describes a build tool, what's the fantastic idea here? What is your build doing. or do you mean simply build vs using an ftp server? sorry if this sounds weird, but the blurb explains nothing new, and nothi

once the tech is solid I am 100% sure health insurance companies will ask (probably not mandate due to human rights) their customers to do this and give them a financial incentive as such.

Nitpicking certainly but I would say use something like antlr rather than peg.js antlr "schemas" are extremely close to ebnf's (some exceptions obviously) and the compiler creation club could benefit from that. Antlr 3 is us
