Just want to chime in that I'm glad people are still interested in CommonJS Modules/2.0. We have a working implementation that hopefully will be of interest, and have factored out the generally applicable parts of our test suite. Also see the announcement thread on the CommonJS list.

That said, personally I've been a bit disappointed with the CommonJS community's lack of enthusiasm on Modules/2.0. We picked it up early in our project lifecycle, and ran with it full speed. At the time it seemed like a more standardized alternative to AMD.

However, over time it's become clear that AMD has not only won mindshare but also has a much more active group of maintainers and a better, more egalitarian standards process. Whereas, Modules/2.0 has only the perennially busy Wes Garland, leaving a self-hosted PDF s

The following features of ES5 cannot be shimmed.

The ones you care about

Enumerable properties [ES3]

Using Object.defineProperty if you define a non-enumerable property on an object then for..in loops over that object will behave correctly in modern browsers but enumerate over that property in legacy browsers.

This means that code that works in modern browsers, breaks in legacy browsers.

Raynos

/* partial non-enumerable property implementation
  
  Adds a flag to a weakmap saying on obj foo property bar is not enumerable.

  Then checks that flag in Object.keys emulation.

var enumerables = pd.Name();

For those folks not already hanging out in #documentcloud... here's the log of this afternoon's Ember/Backbone politics discussion.

12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: hey
12:21 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I'm sorry
12:21 PM <wycats> how would you like me to describe backbone?
12:21 PM <wycats> let's work this out for once and for all :)
12:21 PM <wycats> I'm definitely not intentionally saying incorrect things about backbone
12:22 PM • knowtheory gets out popcorn
12:24 PM <jashkenas> don't worry about it too much -- I'm just not terribly pleased with backbone being continued to be used as the strawman...
12:24 PM <wycats> jashkenas: I am worried about it a lot

Markdown and reStructuredText

GitHub supports several lightweight markup languages for documentation; the most popular ones (generally, not just at GitHub) are Markdown and reStructuredText. Markdown is sometimes considered easier to use, and is often preferred when the purpose is simply to generate HTML. On the other hand, reStructuredText is more extensible and powerful, with native support (not just embedded HTML) for tables, as well as things like automatic generation of tables of contents.
