Excellent introduction to #ClojureScript aimed at #JavaScript developers.

A proposal to replace JavaScript with something less evil:

I, too, have been craving some kind of reduced-instruction-set version of #JavaScript, capable of only doing a handful of safe, well-standardized things.

The author does point out that the two can live side-by-side; I can block most legacy javascript with addons, and allow the safer replacement to run freely.

And by moving everything it does into HTML/CSS extensions, it looks a lot less painful to work with.

Calling all coders!

It’s been wonderful to see so many new members joining our community over the past few days. <3

You might already have noticed that diaspora* is missing some features that you’d really like to use.

As an open-source Free Software project, diaspora* is created by its community. Now that you’re part of this community, we’d love you to help us improve it for everyone.

The main issue that slows the pace of development is simply developer time. To increase developer time and so increase the speed of development, the project needs more developers!

Help us improve the software

If you can code, or want to learn, we’d like to hear from you! diaspora* is built on Ruby on Rails, with many JavaScript elements. Have a look at our guide to contributing to diaspora*.

• Get in touch with our core team before you start work on anything to discuss your proposed contribution. That way we can make sure that your contribution will fit well into the existing structure.
• Some of the bigger features can be pretty complex, so it might be a good idea to start with simpler issues until you’ve become familiar with the code and diaspora* itself.
• We manage development via GitHub’s issue tracker. Look especially for issues tagged with the help wanted and newcomer labels.

If you know someone who can code, and you think they might be interested in this project, tell them about diaspora* and encourage them to consider contributing!

Even if you don't code, there are still plenty more ways to help. Check our wiki for ideas.

Thank you! <3

If like me you like writing your JavaScript code in a functional style, you may already know the `Array.map` and `Array.filter` methods. But is there a way to combine them? And will this be a more efficient solution?

BTW, if you *don't* already know `Array.map` and `Array.filter`, don't panic: I introduce them on a simple to understand example in the first half of the article ;)
