For add-ons and DevTools plugins: it would be cool to have AtomIO style architecture. Easy to install, easy to develop for, easy to publish to npm, and written in pure JavaScript. IMHO it would quickly propel Spartan to the forefront of the

Medium is pretty awful for code so I still use svbtle. Most of my page views doesn't come from the Svbtle site, but from direct links, Twitter, etc.

jshint warns about these bugs regardless of whether you have ASI flag turned on. Writing semicolon-free code is easy. Just put a preceding semicolon before any lines beginning with: ( [ + -

Semicolons are already optional in JS. Automatic semi colon insertion (ASI) has a clear set of rules that are pretty easy to remember. http://mattdesl.svbtle.com/to-semicolon-or-not

Even something as simple as the images and rectangles composited in hardware/software with Skia would take a thesis to explain.

That sounds pretty great, actually. Would love to see an example project that uses React without a DOM.

Nice writeup. I can definitely see "isomorphic" or client/server frameworks (React and Ember especially) being the go-to choice for new sites. I guess an exception would be richer "experiential" type of apps and toy

I wouldn't copy paste some random blog or SO code without first writing a test for it. My dependencies already have tests, so I have no need to re-write them. When my tests do fail it is usually immediately clear where the problem lies

Linking functions; but also minimizing scope creep, API changes, opinionated libraries with a questionable lifespan, bit rot, and versioning woes (eg. a major change in to-dash-case may not represent a major change in to-camel-case).

Has any of this actually happened to you with focused modules like to-dash-case? There is no reason for such a focused module to go out of style. As with many other small modules, the API and major version is locked barring some catastrophi

To illustrate the problem: my dom-css module[1] needs a method to convert to camel case. I could copy-paste from stack overflow, but I would have to maintain/test that function. I'd rather depend on something. I could depend on a

In the case of is-object the api is frozen, and with any module it's assumed that any breaking changes would come in via a major version (ie not break your code). Yeah, sure, if the maintainer becomes evil overnight he can break a lot

I responded a while back in another thread about "small modules" in npm. Filesize is only one (rather small) facet of why some people prefer this approach to the "put everything under the same hood". https://n

The build step is mitigated by incremental reloading, and the incremental reloading can be tied to a live-reload event. So you end up with the same workflow as shown in this video; but most likely faster for many modules (browser requests 1

Agreed on there being too many tools. Thankfully most of them are starting to embrace the same core feature: writing npm modules. Small bits of code that you publish once to npm, and then reuse across many projects and potentially many buil
