Re: [FRIAM] Friam, meet Jeremy Ashkenas
This is a good example of Jeremy's "monetization of open source software" http://ashkenas.com/code-reads/ Its a personal code read, mainly for several projects he's created. I'm considering this for AgentScript once we get past our next goal: incorporation of a few professional models. -- Owen On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 10:55 AM, Stephen Guerin wrote: > Thanks, Owen. > > Watching his talk in Paris now: > http://ashkenas.com/dotjs/ > --- -. . ..-. .. ... - .-- --- ..-. .. ... > stephen.gue...@redfish.com > 1600 Lena St #D1, Santa Fe, NM 87505 > office: 505-995-0206 tollfree: 888-414-3855 > mobile: 505-577-5828 > tw: @redfishgroup skype: redfishgroup > redfish.com | simtable.com > > > On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 10:42 AM, Owen Densmore wrote: > >> I know folks have heard all the buzz about JavaScript, but may be >> confused about what's the big deal.

[FRIAM] Friam, meet Jeremy Ashkenas
I know folks have heard all the buzz about JavaScript, but may be confused about what's the big deal. I gave a wedtech on it long ago but it has some useful details: http://backspaces.net/temp/JSEverywhere.pdf This is a pointer to one of the heros of the JSE revolution, Jeremy Ashkenas. He is best known for his work with CoffeeScript, a pythonic version of JS that compiles to JS. He's also championed "Literate Programming" where your code is meant to be read. http://ashkenas.com/literate-coffeescript/ Here's the actual program Journo he's currently blogging with: https://github.com/jashkenas/journo/blob/master/README.md It's code even tho it looks like a document. The indented, highlighted pieces are Journo's code. The entire page is parsed by the coffeescript compiler and the runnable program produced. If you use twitter, look him up, he's worth following. https://twitter.com/jashkenas .. he's recovering from his intense work via a huge around-the-world trip. I believe he wrote Journo just before he left so that he could have a live blog of his trip. You can follow him and his myriad photos at http://ashkenas.com The point of all this is a new maturity in the computing world that is sorta a renaissance.
