Because CoffeeScript already builds to Javascript?

Or rather, it returns a new function that wraps call/apply with a "baked in" value of 'this', so that it can be passed as a callback and retain the correct 'this'. That's a bit different than just being a wrapper for them - it's shorthand f

Maybe you could compile it yourself?

"Real life" friends - met by chance Internet friends - met by interest I think that says it all - I've met many internet people over the years, and they've all been the most incredible, 'three-dimensional' people. The internet really opens

I had some problems with SpiderMonkey's thread safe mode. If you have your own lock system, and you lock a resource while running JS, SM might do garbage collection at any time , for which it has its own lock. This causes deadlock very qui

No, this is a full "IDE locked up" kind of delay - and it's not just code completion, the whole thing feels sluggish compared to Netbeans. This is both on my Windows desktop and my MBP, so I guess the only thing left to blame is the size of

Now that you mention it, it wasn't shy about how much memory it wanted to use either, but I'll give it a try next time I need to use Eclipse for something - thanks.

I can't really argue with you because I'm only speaking from my own experience, but although with nbandroid I might wait 3 months for an update, with Eclipse I would wait 3 months for the code completion popup. :-)

Those doing Android dev and stuck with Eclipse should also check out nbandroid: http://wiki.netbeans.org/IntroAndroidDevNetBeans It's such a breath of fresh air having a responsive IDE... now all I need is a responsive phone ;-)

Don't you find it gets a bit lonely after a while? I've been working as a full-time programmer from home for about a year and a half now, and it's beginning to get a bit weird. Aside from not having physical coworkers, I don't leave work, g

It's not about the languages you know, it's about how you can apply them to make yourself a living. If you're confident that your friend is capable of running a business (with your skills to help him - although I hope you're a fast learner,

Yep, my connection is "IWF'd"... I had no idea this kind of thing was going on. At least when they block a website in China they block it with a clear message instead of just silently breaking its functionality.

That was me who mentioned it, actually :-) Yes, I see what you mean now, sorry! This reminds me of bug in the Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, where a variable declared in the "head" of a for loop would continue to exist after the loop scope had c

That's because closures actually capture the variable, not the current value of it. They'd be a lot less useful if they just made a copy of the variables...
556.
by udp 16y ago
They're "hoisted" and only local to the function, though. I'd (personally) prefer it if it worked like C, and a variable was defined from the "var" statement until the next closing brace. Then you could have a variable local to one branch o

It definitely has some cool potential applications - what about tracking where the user moves their mouse and how long it stays there on a regular web page, to judge what grabs their attention more (or less)?

I haven't looked at the source, but I really like your idea of dynamically generating code for speed. Good work! I'll be sure to check it out next time I work on something personal that isn't already jQuery centric. :-)

There is something surprisingly amusing about declaring things like 'koala' as a snack. It must be an evolutionary thing - the amused feeling is just a suppressed urge to kill and eat anything that moves.

Yes, I've been using this for months on both Windows and my MBP. He's done a very seamless port - kudos! :-)

That would become an awful mess pretty quickly. One extra HTTP request per script dependency is a pretty acceptable trade-off for keeping things tidy, especially nowadays with things like keep alive and pipelining. If you have a custom back

So you're suggesting there shouldn't be any (for example) instant messaging in the web browser, it should be in a separate application. Well, it's pretty clear what you mean now, and I guess we'll just have to agree to differ. Real-time AJA

Let's take a look at the alternatives to breaking the back button, then: - The web application could serve static pages and then update them with AJAX What if the user clicks back /then/? All the AJAX updates would be lost, and they'd go b

It's all about the back button in a web-app when addressability doesn't matter. The user doesn't expect to be logged out when they click back out of force of habit.

Using a # to show JS state changes in the URL isn't some huge developer cock-up like it's being portrayed to be, it's just making the best user experience out of the functionality available - see this for instance: http://code.google.com/p

Really? I haven't seen many people rushing to defend it at all, just a whole lot of "C++ sucks, let's all stick with C". I should hope Stroustrup has been known to criticize it! It wouldn't be a very good language if it was designed by some

Bad mouthing of C++ has become a popular thing to do lately. I think it's partly because C++ is a difficult and time consuming language to learn with many caveats, and people find it easier to give up and bash it instead. Just because C++ d
