I couldn't agree more. Well said! The [Ethical Open Source definition][1] does include three general points on behalf of the end user: accessibility, safety, and privacy. But it do…

Thanks for your part in getting this story published! If you have not seen it, the BBC series "The Century of the Self" details the pre-history of these tendencies in the creation …

Yah. I don't know ClojureScript but that doesn't stop me from using it. And David Nolen pretty convincingly addressed the size question in "Javascript Modularity Shaming"[1] - i.e.…

I found David Nolen's talk at React conf useful in understanding the motivation for cursors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hGHdETNteE . See in particular starting around 15:40. …

Can someone explain the advantages of using this over mori (which doesn't include cursors per se at the moment, but are easy to implement on top of mori data structures)?

Haha all the proud mercenaries of HN quick to shoot down any hint of politics in their little world... A good number of us INside the US (not to mention Europe and elswhere) would …

Hey, Philip - thanks for posting this and also the previous write-up of your experiences as a helper in the 'boot camp' ( http://pgbovine.net/teaching-librarians-programming.htm ).…

The point is with component you have a choice of how granular you want your components depending on the project, and there is very low cost to breaking things down and having a bun…

I haven't tried bower, but I always get a little confused when it gets compared to component. Bower seems like a downloader with some 'dependency management'. But its 'dependencies…

I completely agree and recommend component for all the reasons Ian mentions. It is shocking how little-known it is in javascript land. Don't be put off by lack of documentation and…
