No wonder, just look at the code: https://github.com/ben-eysenbach/do_good/blob/master/do_good...

Great, thank you!

I wonder if PDF or Epub version is available? couldn't find it on the site.

[1] can give you some insight on the dark side of JS. Also, avoiding JS in some way or another is not that hard, esp. since there're a lot of languages which compile to JS, most notably CoffeeScript and ClojureScript.

This is because the datasets are unique for each user, so you need to login first, and then download the dataset.

Yup, that might work, but still, this is a weird idea for a key-value store, maybe a DAWG or a radix tree would do better.

I guess FM index is just not the right thing to use when you need a key-value data store. It's a full text index -- a data structure, which allows fast substring queries over a fixed text corpus.

A nice example of how easy it is to get things wrong in JS: http://bayimg.com/JampiAAdJ

  - unicode characters (for instance you can't type in russian) -- try there http://demos.anyterm.org/shellinabox_nano
  - speed could've been better, there's a noticeable delay when running something like `mc`

I understand your point, there's two problems with most of the terminal emulators I've seen:

  - they are either poorly or completely unsupported  
  - the code is a nightmare, badly written, undocumented

As for speed issues, have you considered implementing incremental updates (like in AnyTerm, for example)? This approach works perfectly in our setup (multiple clients, multiple terminals).

P. S. Looking through the code, I can tell that you had some tough nights throughout those 9 months :) Good job!

Actually, some of them do have it -- `xterm`, for instance has a lists of flaws in other terminals. `pyte` on the other hand only mentions similar projects.

Just out of curiosity, why you didn't use (or decided not to use) existing solutions for the terminal backend:

* http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyte * http://github.com/samfoo/vt102 * http://antony.lesuisse.org/software/ajaxterm/

(to name a few)

First though was «they ported Fabric (http://fabfile.org) to node.js?! noway». And they didn't.

That would probably ruin all the fun of rule-breaking.

Any industry for that matter; just replace programmer with <musician> (for example).

man, they just don't look that good ...

Seriously, how can "using jQuery" be a good practice?
