#12Javascript Allonge is a great read and a must for newcomers and experienced devs. https://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge/read
Indeed. It is a great read. I just had to include it on Superhero.js when I finished reading it a couple of days ago. Especially valuable if you already know some JS.

I was just about to add that. I don't even know how many comments are in my archive echoing that sentiment. It's a fantastic book for any programmer.
Javascript is honestly a weird language if you're coming from the typical imperative languages (C, Java, Python, etc.), it's also not really functional enough to be in the spirit of Lisp, and it's doesn't have the type system to be familiar to Haskell or Scala devs. It's really a descendant of the Smalltalk/Self lineage, but with some major diversions. I always thought it was a shit language cobbled together with no consistent philosophy. Reading that book proved me wrong. Javascript does in fact have a soul and Reg Braithwaite totally changed how I view the language with Javascript Allongé.

#14We want more great stuff of Superhero.js, so we're open for suggestions here or in the GitHub issues: https://github.com/superherojs/superherojs/issues
We are thinking about adding a section on the most used libraries or frameworks, such as Backbone, Angular and Ember, but we will focus on the core JavaScript essentials until we feel it's good enough.

That would be great. You can also add this site on the list:

A while ago it was being promoted here on HN.

#16This might be contrary to the "point" of the website, but you should touch upon Vanilla.js. http://vanilla-js.com

#18Awesome stuff. Although this has already been shown off here before: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=superhero.js#!/story/forever/0/sup...

#19Great additions there sould be more site like this. Definitely bookmarked.

#20I wrote this a while back to help some people on my team better understand some js quirkiness. Not sure if it's worth mentioning, but it trips a lot of people up.
