how I used to write sass --> how i write it now.
// how I used to write sass!
// -----------------------
// its short, sure, but short doesn't necessarily mean simple. Its very difficult for me
// to tell how a given element gets its styles -- element-1 is getting inherited styles
// from its container, and then has two different explicit selectors. At scale,
// its even harder to tell what overrides what, and file ordering begins to actually
// matter. Whenever I see code like this now, I refactor it asap -- before
// it gets too unwieldy and brittle to change.

raorao / closures.js
Last active December 28, 2015 06:09
Here's my attempt at explaining closures in JavaScript.
// As I've been know to yell, JavaScript is a stupid language, and I don’t mean that as an insult.
// For example, where Ruby has 50-ish enumerable methods to iterate over collections,
// JS has, basically, two. But that’s okay! That just means you have to build any complicated
// logical structures yourself in JavaScript, which makes your code more transparent and flexible.
// One important structure you often find yourself building from scratch is private functionality
// in object oriented programming. JavaScript closures are one way to achieve that goal.

var currentCount = 0;
