As tbassetto said, I can't see any reasons to use Underscore over Lo-Dash. Performance is on par or better, AMD/CommonJS modularity out of the gate, and their CLI can be used to build a minimal version of the lib based on the func

Modularity is good for restructuring, among other things. I'd rather type out a buttload of require() statements than have to try and de-couple parts of a monolithic system if I wanted to replace one part. Also, static files should be

That's not to say that packages aren't being written in CoffeeScript as source and then being compiled to Javascript for distribution. That wouldn't require CoffeeScript to be in the deps at all if a dev doesn't use buil

I read that to mean that other languages can solve both real and "non-real" problems, those where one can try ones tools for the inherent joy of using them, but that Go probably doesn't inspire one to do the latter and focuse

I think he should have gone with "a leash" instead of "my leash". The latter sounds like one is looking for an animal to put on their leash.

It's trying to ease the problems surrounding contextual overrides. Having color="red" and other inline styles is a bad design pattern, but AM only superficially resembles it in that it uses attributes. Whether you give an ele

But that's exactly what this is doing: defining a better bounding area for an element so that the browser can flow text around it according to the available screen real estate. Defining the length of each line of text is a backward-fac

CoffeeScript is not a static language - unless I'm misinterpreting what you mean by "static". And the compilation is pretty light. The syntax is different, but for the most part the semantics are 1:1 with Javascript. Having s

Right, gotcha. I wouldn't throw a framework like Angular, Ember, or Backbone into the mix right away though. They have a lot of moving parts. The thing I like about React is that it's just a view layer, and can be a very simple on

I like this approach, but I would reconsider step 6 as soon as possible. Most people move away from directly manipulating the DOM, because it's just not sustainable. Better to set them along the path of having templates that render to

Frontend, with a backend serving as an API/data layer. But focus on the frontend. That seems to be the way things have gone and are going, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

Web apps have been tilting more heavily toward the frontend (using a backend as an API/data layer), and I don't see that slowing down any time soon, so the frontend is the way to go, IMO. If we're targeting the frontend and a

I like Min but the 10-column grid seems like a poor choice vs 12-col, IMO. What was the rationale behind that?

I've done projects in both Angular and React and I find the latter to be much simpler to reason about. Scopes, transclusions and directives are often confusing. React is just nestable Polymer-like components of encapsulated markup and

Poor kerning/letterfit and wonky visual weight hinder reading. That would make Comic Sans objectively worse.

Until you can substantiate your claims inre: "every major ISP" censoring, it's FUD. I don't have any evidence that my ISP (Shaw) or the other major Canadian ISPs don't censor. But you haven't presented any evid

As dvcc said, please substantiate your claims inre: "every major ISP censors and filters websites and IP's it deems to be harmful". I don't have any love for North American ISPs, but I loathe FUD.

Named function expressions will cause memory leaks in IE < 9. Shouldn't be a problem forever, but some devs now might be impacted. Pushing utility functions to the bottom of the current file is another reason to use a modular js arc

You can use Grunt and gulp for any sort of projects, not just ones involving JS.
