In general, I've come to believe that it's very easy to look at decisions as "severe cases of NIH" by looking at available tools and assuming that something must fit the bill. Especially in the young ecosystem that is

It looks like the Ember one has three {{action}}s: 1) <button {{action "removeTodo"}} class="destroy"> (a button) 2) <button id="clear-completed" {{action "clearCompleted"}} {{bind-attr class

Today's reasonably-built JavaScript-based applications are built using HTML as templates. They don't use a <div> as a button, they use a <button> as a button. They don't invent navigation using JavaScript, they us

I was asked to choose a name that didn't potentially confuse the project as officially endorsed by the Rails project and DHH.

It's not clear to me how to compile directly to it without breaking CoffeeScript code that already uses for/of. Is the idea to break compatibility with existing CoffeeScript code? See my longer question about this upthread.

Generators will be an ES6 feature, and therefore libraries written using generators and yield will run on both the server and in browsers. For many use-cases, this is a good enough reason to use them.
219.
by wycats 13y ago
There are going to be some bigger issues if you start targeting ES6, like the inconsistency between for/of in ES6 vs. CoffeeScript, differences in destructuring, semantic inconsistencies in classes, etc. I'd be very interested to

Does this mean that the mere presence of the word `yield` turns a function into a generator? Is there any way to build a yield-less generator (say, a noop generator for an API that requires a generator)?

Rational, reasonable response. Kudos! Thought experiment: imagine if half of these foiled plots had occurred. In other words, imagine if every 6 months or so we had a terrorist attack that killed a dozen people (and sometimes more). Do you

That's like saying that if there are any reports of measles, the entire vaccination regime is a failure. I agree that we need to know more about the efforts to understand if they're working. I disagree that the small number of ter

The problem with this sort of analysis is that there are EXTENSIVE efforts to reduce the amount of terrorism. You might not like it, but the efforts are not trivial. You're looking at the number of terrorism incidents AFTER efforts to

I used URL Templates (RFC 6570 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570 ) so that the request to the server is not ad-hoc, but instead fully described by the resource body.

by wycats 13y ago
URLs are opaque, and can often serve as very useful IDs, but, alone, they imply a one-at-a-time model of fetching documents, and this spec is trying to provide a way to easily request only the documents a client needs in a compound document

It can only be used for GET requests, has problems in web browsers, and still requires the overhead of individual requests on the server side to construct and return many responses. In theory , things like pipelining allow you to never hav

I don't think "served from Rails" and "consumed by Ember.js" is quite right. It was designed to work with existing servers that have facilities for easily generating JSON (Rails, Django, various Node frameworks), and smart clients that want
233.
by wycats 13y ago
Indeed. In my experience, looser requirements in this kind of thing just leads to tears on the part of client and server implementations. I'll happily reduce some of the MUST s to SHOULD s or MAY s if it makes sense for the communication

Thanks for the feedback :) Standardized paging seems to come up a lot, so it seems like a good thing to add once the core spec stabilizes. Optional sideloading also has come up a few times, and seems easy to add as a MAY in the spec. I ne

How would you combine multiple authors into a single request? With IDs + a template, you can form a single request for all of the "people" you don't have yet. If you use URLs as IDs, which is one of the primary goals here.
