// This is in response to https://gist.github.com/Peeja/5284697.
// Peeja wanted to know how to convert some callback-based code to functional
// style using promises.
var Promise = require('rsvp').Promise;
var ids = [1,2,3,4,5,6];
// If this were synchronous, we'd simply write:

playing around with an `Object.make()` helper
// `Object.make(..)` is a helper/wrapper for `Object.create(..)`. Both create a new
// object, and optionally link that new object's `[[Prototype]]` chain to another object.
//
// But `Object.make(..)` makes sure the new object always has a `__proto__` property
// (even a null one) and delegation to a `isPrototypeOf(..)` method, both of which are
// missing from the bare object (aka "Dictionary") created by `Object.create(null)`.
//
// `isPrototypeOf()` is put on a extra object that your created object can delegate to,
// if any only if you create an empty object (by not passing a `linkTo`) that otherwise
// wouldn't have access to `isPrototypeOf()`.

Fun with Mutation Observers

I’ve been having a play around with Mutation Observers this morning, trying to work out when notifications happen and what happens when removing a node that was just added.

If you’re unfamiliar with Mutation Observers, they let you receive notifications when an element, or elements, have been modified in a particular way (here's an intro to Mutation Observers from Mozilla).

Observing mid-parsing

Learn JavaScript concepts with recent DevTools features

Learn JavaScript concepts with the Chrome DevTools

Authored by Peter Rybin , Chrome DevTools team

In this short guide we'll review some new Chrome DevTools features for "function scope" and "internal properties" by exploring some base JavaScript language concepts.

Closures

Let's start with closures – one of the most famous things in JS. A closure is a function, that uses variables from outside. See an example:
