Very awesome. I'm assuming the majority of points are gained via GitHub - Curious what your algorithm for that is. I can see you working with CodeAcademy possibly. Looking forward to seeing more.

#32cool!

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
Granted you have to start somewhere, but the second challenge (appears) to not only be JS-specific, but specific to the Prototype JS library.
JS is a prototype based language. I think the word prototype might be throwing you off but its a core concept within JavaScript.
You were right, the word 'prototype' threw me off. I look forward to seeing what challenges there will be for other languages :)

#34It looks like only Javascript devs are welcome. :\
Yeah, there's a huge Javascript bias. When they describe a dev with 7 to 10 years experience as: "Web Hipster; I was using AJAX before it was even called AJAX.", it's a bit like hearing nails on a chalkboard.

#35Love it.

#36The code editor could use some work. It was very awkward to use, especially in my phone's browser. Otherwise, MORE PUZZLES!

#37Call me easy to engage, but I really liked all the +100's next to the buttons.

#38Nicely done. Reminds me of codingbat.com (solve the questions there in java or python).

#39Hey here's an idea: Let people create their own challenges and let them assign some point values to them (if the person is a high scorer, maybe let them give the challenge higher points). Then other people can try to solve it and vote on user created challenges. Get the ecosystem going! What do you think?
Re: CodeWars: the Hacker Society where devs compete
#40the first challenge that came up asked me to fix a JavaScript program. however, the logic of the program was fine; it merely contained a syntax error that was obvious if you know the peculiarities of JavaScript syntax but hard to spot if you don't. that's not the sort of challenge I want to solve.
