Point being, there is no way to make coffeescript generate hoisted function statements. It only generates assignments with function expressions. On Saturday, 17 August 2013 07:53:26 UTC+2, Andrew Kelley wrote: > > I wrote this article as a response to all the recent callback hate: > > http://andr

Re: [nodejs] Re: Callbacks are Pretty Okay

I know coffeescript functions don't hoist. I've been coding in nothing but coffeescript for almost three years. Hoisting *is* needed to call a definition that hasn't been encountered yet in time. But hoisting is *not* needed to call a function defined further down in the file. It's the differen

Re: [nodejs] Re: Callbacks are Pretty Okay

That is calling a function that is defined in an upper context. It IS defined before the call, as the body of start does not run until the last line. That is NOT hoisting, that is a result of Javascript exposing the upper context by memory reference rather copying the memory at the time of defining

Re: [nodejs] Re: Callbacks are Pretty Okay

Yes, I know it isn't hoisting. I never claimed it was. I'm just saying (over and over) that callbacks can call the functions while going downwards in the file. This is how I code everything. Here is a more detailed example. Note how readable it is when the control flows downward, just like syn

Re: [nodejs] Re: Callbacks are Pretty Okay

Mark, I think the point everyone is trying to make is that with regular JavaScript, this "start()" thing is *not* necessary, but with CoffeeScript it is... essentially, this "start()" mechanism is a hack for CS's lack of function hoisting. On Sun, Aug 18, 2013 at 1:36 PM, Mark Hahn wrote: > Yes

I agree with everyone, although I don't think it is a hack. I'm very happy that we all understand each other now. I just wanted to put this option out there. There seemed to be a general consensus that this wasn't possible in coffeescript and I wanted to provide this counter-opinion. I do feel
