   There is also the issue that implementing things like method_missing and import are prohibitively difficult without new syntax. Objective-J's code importer is one of the more complex pieces (as it manages to do so completely asynchronously)

   If you look at the title you'll see that this is actually just the "highlights" reel. The actual talk given at FOWA went much further in depth into the actual technologies. Hopefully they will put this up too.

   I've been avoiding this whole latest essay debacle, but this essay particularly struck me. It is not a balanced perspective at all in my opinion, and is quite frankly the silliest and saddest rebuttal I've read so far. What this person fun

   I don't understand the need to control things to such a degree. If certain posts become popular its because people want to read them. If its true that a majority of people here only want certain kinds of posts, then these "fluff" posts sh

   This happens when putting a newline between return and any value. This is actually a result of JavaScript's lax support of semi-colons. Semi-colons are generally not enforced in JavaScript, but this leads to some ambiguous cases. Your cas

    How are they beating PDF on cost? Acrobat Reader is free, and they don't put ads in there. On top of that, they say that the cost of creating documents is "free". What? Are they handing out free Word licenses with this thing or something

    WebKit proper is Objective-C. WebCore and JavaScriptCore (which sit below WebKit) are both C++ (technically portions are Objective-C++ I guess).

    Apple has open source figured out. It's the prefect fusion: the core technologies ( http://webkit.org ) are open source, but they manage the UI like no one else can. Software with style, the way it should be. The WebKit team is absolutel
