That sounds about right :) . However, you need a great degree of discipline (greater compared to other languages IMO), to write good JS. JS enforces almost nothing, so it's up to the programmer to design an application architecture that suits her, so it might not be as ad-hoc in real life applications after all.

Well, a custom framework might evolve when you write everything using just JavaScript, but I've found that when such a thing does happen, it suits your needs perfectly. Even if I screw up, I'll at least know where to look when I'm debugging :)

Yes. Object.observe, arrow functions, comprehensions, yield and yield* + promises, what more do you need? :)

I wonder if we need any JavaScript framework at all, given how far JS has come in recent years, yes, I use an MVC framework currently for the apps I'm building but I'm writing more and more of my apps these days using nothing but vanilla JavaScript(ES-6 to be exact) and the dom apis, and I'm not depending upon any framework. (well, I use traceur but only because ES-6 support is not fully baked in to all browsers). IMO the frameworks that are all out there today are simply too big and try to do too much for you. The only libraries I use from time to time are underscore, d3 and moment.js.

"So we are optimistic that our centralized web search engine architecture will improve in its ability to cover the pertinent text information over time and that there is a bright future for search" Wow!

Seriously! Too many devices competing for time and attention these days.

I've never met anyone who likes CSS. Sure, I write it, the people I meet write it and it's unavoidable but it's little more than a necessary evil, as nothing else works on the web.

Hey thanks for sharing! . It's beautifully written.

People are still using Facebook?

Bit torrent sync!

It reminded me of this https://xkcd.com/664/ when I read it. The difference between what is intellectually stimulating and gives you a sense of aesthetic pleasure and joy, and writing something that will work correctly in IE6 is too damn huge.

They have gone too far. Disgusting.

This sucks.

Shows up in chrome.

Wth?!

No. Its not. Its usage is declining.

IE is broken in Windows since Windows 98.

How many of you read the whole thing? I dropped after " the kind often found in sinewy men of a certain age and outlook." It does not hold your interest.

Thank you so much for posting this!
