   Thanks, I remember seeing this a while back but didn't realise it was RequireJS-aware. The demo is pretty great.

   Yep, same as CoffeeScript. All CoffeeScript's `class` stuff does is set up the prototype chain for the exact way that every JS dev under the sun does their manual prototype stuff. AFAICT you're doing the same thing you're jus

   Can't agree with your implication that 'real JS stuff' won't get done and 'JS people' won't get on board due to its 'focus on OOP'. I've yet to see a large JS app written in a 'function

   Sorry, I'm not looking for an argument and I didn't mean to put words in your mouth. My original post was badly written and overly argumentative, I think I was in a bad mood and a couple of your points just set off my usual UX&#x2

   Well of course, I didn't mean it quite that literally and am a bit sad to see I got downvoted but I guess I did make the point poorly (and mildy aggressively now I read it back). I should probably just have linked to somewhere the argu

   On point 1. I hope you appreciate your angle is pretty oldschool and would beg to strongly disagree. I have read a lot of HN commenters over the past few years commenting on similar designs/redesigns that seem to share your viewpoint a

   You're slightly off on your definitions - what you show in that example is dependency injection. You are injecting dependencies into `some_func` by passing them in. See my response to kyllo below. I think what you are arguing against

   What you just wrote as a code example is Dependency Injection, it's just manual dependency injection as opposed to using an IOC container or any of the mechanisms Angular provides. I am very much in favour of the approach you posted.

    >> where programmatic wiring and modules already solve the problem in an idiomatic way Can't agree with that. Not sure what you mean by 'programmatic wiring' as it sounds vague, but certainly modules do not solve the s

    I don't see anywhere in this site's copy where they suggest that you integrate your test code into the same code that you're testing?

    Yep they flat out break stuff in IE at least. Cookie saving, for instance, simply won't work if the domain contains an underscore.

    Can't remember the last time I opened a 2mb file in my code editor. And who cares about the number of files. It's not claiming to be usb-stick portable.

    Agree. Hopefully (?) it's just JS by the point we get to `Mail.outgoingMessages` so it should be fairly straightforward to mix-in underscore's methods into whatever their 'collection' representation is, the same way Back

    I think you're sort of missing the point. It's not about 'editing your github files', and anybody who brings up VIM is definitely missing the point (it's not for you!). As I understand it Prose is about the potent

    Yep I was disappointed by this too. I had a few frustrations trying to integrate the off-canvas navs from Effeckt.css [1] into an actual app (was combining with Ratchet) and found their code to be pretty hacky/bad. I ended up with some

    You would normally be triggering these menus from a button near the menu, so you would expect the movement. They're only triggered from buttons in the centre of the main page for demo purposes.

    I have to respectfully disagree. I have coded for years in a lot of C-style languages, mainly C, Java, Python, Ruby & JavaScript and I've been struggling with the Clojure book (and various tutorials) for over a year. It's not
