I wanted to create webdav servers hosted by glitch and cpanel. I ended up with exactly the same code on both, nice! Basically they both have node.js capabilities so I could use node.js webdav-server. But then I got the bright idea of using

https://comebackalive.org.ua/donate/ worked for me. I tried the original url last night and ran into problems. Note you need to use UAH currency. $250 was 7336.23 UAH .. sorta sticker shock!

Actually, it should be: JavaScript is weakening the JavaScript ecosystem. In the olden days, html, css, js were it. But each were "subclassed" by better solutions compiling to html, css, js. Then huge frameworks arrived to try to

This is easy: check out D3's architecture. It is "near functional" and tosses all the overly-complex (i.e. dangerous) parts. And definitely read the still important "Javascript, the Good Parts".

Where is the repo? A project here in Santa Fe may be a useful addition and I'd like to get in touch with the authors.

Boy do I hope you're right! Performance is likely an issue tho. Wasm is designed to be faster, both loading/parsing and execution. I did notice that es6 import/export works for Wasm, so I can write performant segments in C. W

So I should give up on JS programming, go back to C/C#/C++/Java/Swift and have them generate wasm? Kinda sad, I like JS. But I like performance too. Is there a possibility for JS tooling? Babel etc? Or any compile-to-JS

(I write this without rancor, as ES4 needed to die.) Apparently Chrome feels the same about ES6 .. they continue playing launch pad chicken (only 39% on Kangax)

Wow, JavaScript is approaching science fiction levels of sophistication! Love the idea of moving functionality from client to server or reverse. Knew about Docker but not Ansible, thanks for that. Now we need some Sweet Macros to help too.

But of course no one uses either when there's Atom/GitHub's favorite: CSON. https://github.com/bevry/cson

Why aren't you discussing the es6 loader which is available now? https://github.com/ModuleLoader/es6-module-loader It can deal with both AMD and CommonJS modules, as well as es6 import/export. It does not nee

Not having separate status hosting is liken not salting passwords. As a NC user, I may leave just for this reason

Well, I agree on the performance (speed) side, VM out, subset In. but feel abandoned on the memory footprint side. Objects are just huge! Asm.js promises something more like structs, I think. Now making THAT available to JS programmers wou

But alas, the browser wars are upon us once again. FF vs Chrome is approaching the silly. On the other hand, there are merits in their differences. Chrome, although it would prefer Dart, looks upon JS as legacy that they can approach via

It is SOOO odd to see folks not "get" the JavaScript Everywhere revolution. Node, JS/CoffeeScript, JSON: Server, Client, Network Data. Complete stack, period. C++?? Gack, so yesterday. Python, Ruby, etc .. so without dynamic windows every

The Facebook "phone" approach is interesting: take over the phone to such a degree that it delivers a FB "experience". No dependencies of the Evil Triangle of the cell world: Handset mfgr, OS provider, Carrier. Yet Moz apparently is lookin

+1 BCPL! Like the first language after it was B. Then C. So shouldn't C++ be P? :)

As lovely as symbolic mathematics is, it does have one major problem: it can not be parsed. I do not mean the symbols cannot be drawn etc, but even a simple expression like "ab + c" can not be disambiguated. Is it "a*b + c"? or is there a
