Backstory: I decided to crowdsource static site generator recommendations, so the following are actual real world suggested-to-me results. I then took those and sorted them by language/server and, just for a decent relative metric, their Github Watcher count. If you want a heap of other projects (including other languages like Haskell and Python) Nanoc has the mother of all site generator lists. If you recommend another one, by all means add a comment.

• Octopress 2,696
• Middleman 685
• NestaCMS 664
• Statis 509
• Nanoc 355

I'm having trouble understanding the benefit of require.js. Can you help me out? I imagine other developers have a similar interest.

From Require.js - Why AMD:

The AMD format comes from wanting a module format that was better than today's "write a bunch of script tags with implicit dependencies that you have to manually order"

I don't quite understand why this methodology is so bad. The difficult part is that you have to manually order dependencies. But the benefit is that you don't have an additional layer of abstraction.

Para onde caminha a comunidade brasileira de front end?

Hoje algo cômico e surreal aconteceu na comunidade FrontEnd Brasil. Algo chocante a ponto de desanimar o mais engajado dos participantes.

Após postar um Gist sobre moment com um código bastante didático, Berger foi rechaçado pelo moderador da comunidade, Jean Carlo Nascimento. Ao notar que o gist era escrito em CoffeeScript, o moderador comentou uma piadinha:

Prefiro usar moment a coffee.

A comunidade não gostou e reagiu, criticando o comentário infeliz e prezando o autor por compartilhar um código útil. Não satisfeito, as agressões sobre o uso de CoffeeScript continuaram.

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

This is a variation of BEM/SUIT/RSCSS methodologies.

Utilities

You won't always need utility classes, but if you want to use them, do in this way.

Syntax: u-<utilityName>

.u-utilityName {}
