I see lots of alternative suggestions here, but not much mention of PocketSmith. I just ditched Mint a couple weeks ago after using them for 10 years and settled on trying PocketSm…

They just added it in preview within the last couple weeks.

One problem with using fat arrow syntax like this is the method is no longer attached to the prototype so it's not shared across all instances and is less memory efficient. It also…

I'm eagerly awaiting mobx-state-tree. Basically the best of both worlds. https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx-state-tree

Really looking forward to TypeScript support [0] as that's blocking me from using this in most of my work-related projects. Congrats to the team on 1.0! 0: https://github.com/prett…

Totally agree. I have kids, and the book would certainly be inappropriate for them now. That said, the simple solution is to wait until they're old enough before exposing it to the…

According to this[0], IE10. 0. http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox

I can second GeoNames. Sometimes it's hard to beat free. We take a couple files from their dump[1] (primarily the city data) and import into a database. We can then geolocate a lat…

I don't think this applies. I don't believe anybody else was doing what TypeScript does when it was released, that is JavaScript + Type Safety. Even today the only other real conte…

Thank you for both of your replies

Is there a feature comparison with Pixi somewhere? Why would one pick StageXL over Pixi, for example?

That benchmark is amazing. I remember wanting to prototype an HTML5 tower defense game a number of years back but couldn't overcome the performance issues as more and more sprites …

You don't actually have to use the transpiler features of TypeScript if you set `--target` appropriately. And Flow has the same problems regarding language features. Flow doesn't j…
