Python (must have). And then Ruby, Lua, R, Go, and C# in no particular order (just suggestions). R would be huge for statistical computing, which Lambda holds a lot of potential for -- research would never be the same. Lua would be fitting&

Very good point! Thanks for catching that. It would be harder in the long run if Lambda decides to support more languages than JS, as the parsing would have to be done on a per-language basis. But anyway, I have created an issue for it. In

Related: this game grew out of Seth Cooper's PhD dissertation [1] "A Framework for Scientific Discovery through Video Games", which won the ACM Dissertation Award in 2011. Although a lot of the content is Foldit-centric (prot

I like this idea, but no, clip is about as simple as you can get. Direct greedy parsing one token at a time. It seems like you could get something like your examples by doing option aliases, so typing "complete" or "metadat

Additionally, this will log all the passed arguments (value, index, and array being traversed), which typically isn't what you want: [1, 2, 3].forEach(console.log.bind(console)); > 1 0 [1, 2, 3] > 2 1 [1, 2, 3]

> complex parseable options, something that could only be parsed by a parser generator Could you elaborate on this? Do you mean user input more like natural language? I've seen a few attempts at this such as betty [1], but the rea

shkeleton looks pretty neat too! Amazing that it's 100% bash, as someone who shies away from bash scripting for all but the simplest scripts I can't imagine recreating argparse in it :) Well, my definition of "embeddable&quot

You raise a fair point. The only reason I encheferized the readme example was to have a little fun with it, as one of its goals is to demonstrate help screens...but that ends up making the code look like a wall of text no matter what "

Using Lambda for the slaves is probably not the best idea because, as @saynay mentioned, you couldn't run builds any longer than a few minutes. You could "wrap" a Jenkins fleet running on EC2 with Lambda functions to set up

As a tldr, not-quite-right distinction, GAE is more of a platform whereas Lambda is more of a service. I feel that GAE is a much more generalized solution for building/deploying applications, e.g. it's very integrated with BigTabl

Lambda function, not lambda function. Capitalization is key (the former is just a brand name). Having reductions and composition would be really cool, but from what I could glean from the demos each function is containerized. Stateless and

Not exactly revolutionary per se, it's an idea that's been around at least as long as shells, and as mentioned in the keynote it's a natural level of abstraction above AWS APIs. The neat part is how this simple idea has been

It is completely possible. Consider that the major uses for a server are interacting with clients, storing data (backend database) and manipulating that data. Here the clients can interact directly with S3/Dynamo, this in turn will tri
