Moving to ES6 from CoffeeScript

Moving to ES6 from CoffeeScript

I fell in love with CoffeeScript a couple of years ago. Javascript has always seemed something of an interesting curiosity to me and I was happy to see the meteoric rise of Node.js, but coming from a background of Python I really preferred a cleaner syntax.

In any fast moving community it is inevitable that things will change, and so today we see a big shift toward ES6, the new version of Javascript. It incorporates a handful of the nicer features from CoffeeScript and is usable today through tools like Babel. Here are some of my thoughts and issues on moving away from CoffeeScript in favor of ES6.

While reading I suggest keeping open a tab to Babel's learning ES6 page. The examples there are great.

Punctuation

Holy punctuation, Batman! Say goodbye to your whitespace and hello to parenthesis, curly braces, and semicolons again. Even with the advanced ES6 syntax you'll find yourself writing a lot more punctuatio

Installing

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aac --with-opus

Titanium Studio Mobile SDK 3.2.2.GA _build.js file for Android
/** Titanium Studio 3.2.2 with New Relic fix
*
* Instructions for New Relic SDK fix:
*
* New Relic has issued a temporary fix for the Node.js build system Appcelerator
* is now using to build Android apps. It requires replacing the "_build.js" file
* in the latest Titanium SDK 3.2.2.GA with a new version. It has been tested and
* verified to work on Mac OS, Windows, and Linux. However, it has only been
* verified on version 3.2.2.GA of the Titanium SDK, so that is the version we
* recommend using. Please see below for platform-specific instructions.

Quick and dirty Appcelerator Alloy + FireFoxOS hack. This sample App works EXACTLY the same on iOS, Android and FirefoxOS.

jdata.forEach(function(item){
var payload={
tweet:item.text
};
var row=Alloy.createController('tweet.row',payload).getView();

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
