I'll copy below jashkenas' longer answer from the old github issue about this, https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/712#issuec... """ Sorry, folks, but I'm afraid I disagree completely with this line of reasoning -- let me ex

Javascript has anonymous function closures - nice sugar for a non-blocking API. Python doesn't have them.

Check out jsonpipe, it makes json greppable. https://github.com/dvxhouse/jsonpipe

Jsonpipe is excellent for this. It makes json greppable by putting every piece if data on a new line with its key. $ echo '{"a": 1, "b": 2}' | jsonpipe / {} /a 1 /b 2 $ echo '["foo", "bar", "baz"]' | jsonpipe / [] /0 "

Very well-written, but it's a non-story. Check the comments. Mike has contributed a clojure solution using `double-array` that runs fast, without blowing up the heap with a linked list.

A Java vs Scala post is far more interesting to me than discussing the "shut up about the tools and just work" thesis.

Just watch out that you don't get a 404 one day and end up piping a whole lot of error screen HTML into your shell, it could have wildly unpredictable results.

It's still very easy to miss a 'var', even if you know the language. Especially if you've just context-switched from ruby or python.

RVM's overriding of cd isn't portable to other shells. I can't use it in my favourite shell (fish). Yeah, there's http://beginrescueend.com/integration/fish/ , but I tried that and it started printing errors every time I used cd due to som

Monkey patching in ruby has well-known problems (what happens when two libraries patch the same object?), and now good library maintainers know not to monkey-patch standard libraries. Neither should RVM. The monkey-patching of `cd` is the m

While this is hilarious, it's exactly fair. Dart is still in a very early tech preview, and they clearly haven't optimised code generation yet. Right now, it's probably designed to be run through something like Closure Compiler, which remov

Signatures are a joke, nobody checks them (I used to work in retail). And even if people did check them, they're trivial to forge (there's a copy of the signature on the card telling you what it's supposed to look like!)

To be fair, it's easier to commit to a project on Github. There's an 'edit' button, which lets you make changes inline on the website.

How does it integrate with the `coffee` executable? Does coffeescript have a compiler plugin system, or are you patching the compiler? Will this cause me problems when I try to update my coffeescript compiler?

I still don't get what I'd use it for. Is it like jquery? Is it like rails?

That's the main reason I'm not using RVM. I depend on `cd` to work, every time, rock solid, especially when my system is unstable. I can't risk having a dependency or bug in their `cd` script breaking my most commonly used shell command.
