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 fo…

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-lan…

> Frankly, copy/paste is a superior code reuse mechanism at this scale. The one advantage I see to having borderline-ridiculous packages such as this is that they do One Thing Well…

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…

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 optio…

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)); >…

> 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 f…

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 …

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 ma…

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 run…

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 ap…

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 f…

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. Th…

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 …
