You're right. Updated.

In fairness I just installed grc on ubuntu and it is nothing like demonstrated on the blog because the homebrew version has extra stuff in it.

So "Start by assuming OSX" isn't THAT much of a smarmy reply.

Lies! brew edit grc shows that it's just plain grc 1.4.


At least the installation script adds some aliases to .bashrc.

It suggests to, via you voluntarily typing

    echo 'source "`brew --prefix grc`/etc/grc.bashrc"' >> ~/.bashrc

Sam, creator of Prototype.js: "I hope to never have to write JavaScript again."


I've heard this from many people who've picked up CoffeeScript, especially those who are most fluent in Ruby. Dr. Nic of Engine Yard, an early proponent of CoffeeScript, gave me this blurb for my book:

> JavaScript the runtime language is fast, dynamic, and can run in places other languages can't. But JavaScript the development language is kind of icky. That's why CoffeeScript may turn out to be one of the great innovations in web application development; since I first discovered it, I've never had to write a line of pure JavaScript.


He could have build Prototype.js in CoffeeScript. :)


unless you meam "rewrite", I guess his time machine was non functional.


Well he would have had to write CoffeeScript instead of waiting for jashkenas to build it. He should have, I'm disappointed.


I dig the chainable syntax especially.
