How's this accidental and not essential? Actually, if you don't know how ((this)) works in different context, you can't call yourself a good js developer.

That's what I meant by native development in iOS/Android javascript-to-java and javascript-to-obj-c transpiling I'm fully aware of the existense of alternatives out there like PhoneGap, Ionic ..etc but I'm envisioning a

I really like this "1-1" answer. That's very creative :) But honestly, compare each one of these answers to js's official workaround calling the Number() constructor on the primitive string value and attempting to conver

No I'm confusing dynamically typed langs with loosely typed ones. Thanks for bringing this to my attention :)

Why do you think that '1'.charCodeAt() and then subtracting 1 is more appropriate and logical than Number('1') and then subtracting 1? Please note that the subtraction operator is not defined for strings in js and the la

Grownups in charge of the lang are listening and they're doing their best to incorporate these features (async/yield) in the language as soon as possible. Don't despair the future is bright :)

I always hear this complaint from classical inheritance people, are you a C/Java supremacist?

Can't you use promises/deferreds instead?

It is still mixing presentation with logic if you use a template file. So why do you think it is alright to violate SoC in that case? I am not puritan or dogmatic. That's what I have been trying to convey here. I'm pragmatic to

Don't you know already that js is a dynamically typed language?

48? Why's that? How did you reach this conclusion?

by timepiece 12y ago
I can't wait for the time to be able to write in javascript native code to run on Android or iOS. Maybe a future TypeScript would be the solution for this but it is not too late to remind people that transpiling is a two way street.

"1" - 1 = 0 Seriously, what answer were you expecting other than this? I'm really curious!

by timepiece 12y ago
The main difference is that the logic in template files is the guest here while the markup is the host. We're used to include presentation info in <style> tags and code in <script> tags. So, it is not really a great deal of

What about bringing CSS declarations to the mix? I have watched React Native talks in which they were advocating for this and bluntly calling it proper "separation of concerns". But when you say that presentational markup and logi

There are a million articles and talks that provide exactly this. If you don't find them convincing that's fine, but don't act like no one is providing them. If you have been asked what's the most important convincing

Seriously, all these points sound very fancy and I suspect that they bring unequivocal productivity gain to the dev environment but my main beef with FB or any other org is that they push this workflow or other methodologies as universal be

I aint no traditionalist or a Java supremacist :). I'm just an ordinary guy with passion for anything web development and I happen to like javascript a lot. So, I'm okay with non classical inheritance or any other non conventional

You guys have to convince us first that mixing content+structure/presentation/logic is the best way to go forward in web development for the following reasons 1,2,3 ..etc. I'm all for progress and challenging/questioning

I'm OK with presentational markup co-existing with logic but to be honest I prefer it the template way not the other way around where the markup is the guest at the JS file. But throwing CSS declarations to the mix is just too much for

by timepiece 12y ago
So, you're getting rid of inheritance altogether and settling for this interface boundary sharing notion?
58.
by timepiece 12y ago
So you guys are basically defining a new inheritance model in your app, right?
59.
by timepiece 12y ago
Fair enough but please don't go around telling that mixing content/presentation/logic in a single entity is a valid case of "separation of concerns" but on a micro and not macro level. That's just not right!

vjeux's presentation only applies to a very specific use case at his org namely FB. I should not imitate him just because of the fact that it fitted or served FB right. We should think on our own and figure what works for us and not bl
