Wrote a simple Javascript / Node.js testing framework on the train so that I could dojo.
// TODO: Would love VERBOSE to be given via environment var
// TODO: Should probably have assertIdentity (===) too. Trivial to add.
// TODO: I would like passing tests to appear as full-stops on one line in quiet mode.
var VERBOSE = true;

Pry snippets
Instructions:
In sublime, in the menu find Preferences => Settings - User.
This will open a file, and while this is not the file we want, it is in the correct directory.
NOTE: Please be careful to follow these in the correct order, rather than risk overwriting your user settings!
Do File -> Save As, and resave the file as Pry.sublime-snippet
Delete the content and paste the first file below in that file, and save.

Another ruby funny that caught me out... Want to guess what these should output?
"fish" =~ /ish/
"fish" !=~ /ish/
!("fish" =~ /ish/) # equivalent to "fish" !~ /ish/ - thanks @MrJaba and @kerryb!

How do I do this?
# Premise: a chainable DSL where evaluating a section in an if statement calls valid?
# Example: Each item changes the current synonym, it tests it against
class Moggy
