  • The Latest Gbloink!

    In other ChatGPT news. And updating the post about Gbloink! I made a few months ago, there IS now a new Gbloink! I got GPT to translate it again, this time to JS. But more importantly to a new WebAudio based GM synth library called [TinySynth](https://github.com/g200kg/webaudio-tinysynth) You can play Gbloink! [Here](http://gbloink.com/bs/assets/alpha/index.html) It’s actually pretty good…

  • jspm.io – Frictionless Browser Package Management

    This looks very interesting. Frictionless Browser Package Management. Watching the video on javascript in 2015 shows me that it’s really time I upgraded my javascript build skills / knowledge. I’m pretty out of touch in this world.

  • Windows to Support Android Apps?

    Mary Jo Foley asks if Microsoft could or should enable Android apps on Windows. I’d think it would be more to the point to support standard HTML5 / Javascript apps. as first class citizens in Windows. It’s just as good a way to pick up a lot of developers.

  • Wat

    This is very funny. A survey of bizarre behaviours of non-things in Javascript.

  • CoffeeScript

    Just a note. I am really, really liking CoffeeScript now. It’s reminding me both of freedom that Python gave me when I first turned to it after Java. And bit of my experience with Erlang. ( If only it had Erlang’s Actor model and pattern matching arguments … ) The other good effect of this,…

  • Google's "Future of Javascript"

    So Google blame Javascript’s weaknesses for Apple’s success with iOS and its app ecosystem, and want to replace JS with their own alternative. Obviously I think this is the most wrong-headed thing I’ve heard in a while, and a worrying sign of idiocy within Google. I’m not particularly concerned about the future of Javascript which…

  • I think TidyLines is the best browser-based outliner I’ve seen. At least in terms of how it feels at the keyboard.

  • I certainly like the look of CoffeeScript. Not quite sure what it’s for yet. Is it just a nicer looking syntactic sugar on top of javascript? Or are there some powerful abstractions that simplify doing larger scale js work? (a la jQuery?)
