   I'm learning Vi(m) right now because next semester our C++ course (programming 2) will be taught within a UNIX environment. I'm new to linux as well, so after recently installing Fedora, I limited myself to using Vim as a way of practicing. So far it has helped to work on a project that involves typing in source code that has already been laid out (its Douglas Crockford's essay[1] on writing a JS parser). Literally…

   In the bad old days of early web development, browsers that didn't understand the script tag would display your code in the document. They allowed html comments inside the script tag as a workaround for it. We always had to write <script><!-- //--></script> http://javascript.crockford.com/script.html

   Exactly my thought. My introduction to Scheme, incidentally, came while I was learning JavaScript, and it was through a book that hadn't originally been written in Scheme, either: http://javascript.crockford.com/little.html

   TDOP, Pratt, precedence-climbing, I think they're all referring to the same, if not extremely similar, method of using a loop in the main recursive function that compares precedences and decides whether to recurse or loop: https://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/Misc/exp_parsing.htm#climbing http://javascript.crockford.com/tdop/tdop.html They're definitely very simple, and can be derived by refactoring a recursive descent par…

   This is the RevealingModulePattern that Crockford used to advocate back in the day, except assigning to an object that React creates instead of one you create.. http://javascript.crockford.com/private.html https://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/b... Be aware that memory usage can quickly balloon with this pattern, because the GC needs to keep alive anything referenced from inside the closure, inc…

    Even though JS doesn't have language constructs for public/private, there are a number of different ways to write modules with hidden members by use of closures. Crockford explains with some examples here: http://javascript.crockford.com/private.html
