Hi Donald (and Martin),
Thanks for pinging me; it's nice to know Typesafe is keeping tabs on this, and I
appreciate the tone. This is a Yegge-long response, but given that you and
Martin are the two people best-situated to do anything about this, I'd rather
err on the side of giving you too much to think about. I realize I'm being very
critical of something in which you've invested a great deal (both financially

Tips for Writing Portable Node.js Code

Node.js core does its best to treat every platform equally. Even if most Node developers use OS X day to day, some use Windows, and most everyone deploys to Linux or Solaris. So it's important to keep your code portable between platforms, whether you're writing a library or an application.

Predictably, most cross-platform issues come from Windows. Things just work differently there! But if you're careful, and follow some simple best practices, your code can run just as well on Windows systems.

Paths and URLs

On Windows, paths are constructed with backslashes instead of forward slashes. So if you do your directory manipulation

Programming Quotes
[T]he difference between a bad programmer and a
good one is whether he considers his code or his
data structures more important. Bad programmers
worry about the code. Good programmers worry about
data structures and their relationships.
-- Linus Torvalds
~~~
Clarity and brevity sometimes are at odds.
When they are, I choose clarity.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
