In both examples, the function is only allocated once, no matter how it's instantiated. Where you have to be careful is if you have a function that's being called repeatedly and it…

In this case, it's not language lawyering. All JavaScript environments "do the right thing" with regards to ASI -- it works in all target environments as of the present day. JSMin …

I'm increasingly a fan of local named functions in JS, vs. pulling callbacks entirely out of scope. An example: function compile(filename, ready) { return fs.readFile(filename, mak…

Regarding the gzip-js implementation, it appears to rely on rawinflate.js/rawdeflate.js, which I've never been able to find suitable license information on (and, in fact, contain a…

(I assume) the reason that node chose to go with a single global object (which is optional[0]) is that JS gets a bit hinky when dealing with multiple contexts: e.g., an array retur…

Thanks -- yeah, at the moment it's tightly bound to node's 'fs' module, though I was planning on abstracting it so you could use 'FileData' in modern browsers. I've got the three O…

this looks really cool. i was actually working along the same lines ( https://github.com/chrisdickinson/tempisfugit ) to get a pure JS git implementation, though now I'm a little d…

Yes and no -- it's not absolutely necessary; I could've written it similarly without turning the callback-accepting functions into emitter-returning functions. It would have felt g…

re: cutting down on callback nesting / spaghetti code. It can be hard to avoid; and having the community put together a PEP-8 style "best practices" to avoid creating nested code i…

something like this: var session = require('session'), models = require('models'), template = require('template'); function main(request,response){ session.start( models.getEntries…

Hi -- this is chrisdickinson. One of Wilson's goals is to be comfortable for Djangonauts who, for whatever reason, need to write Node.js code. To that end, the ORM, view layer, and…

as an admonition: this project is very much a work in progress right now (at the moment, I'm moving the ORM into Wilson proper) so the docs are a little out of date. I have a separ…
