Unicode in JS is messy: https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=761#c33

Marmalade is now running on elnode! Amazing! I built an elisp templating library once: https://github.com/Wilfred/mustache.el but never a whole site!
Ooh, LLVM has a Phabricator instance: http://t.co/KnqZav6eLS -- first public major project I've seen using it.
With Graydon Hoare no longer working on Rust, it's interesting to see that community build consensus without a BDFL.
Most editors support regexp find and replace. Emacs supports building the regular expression first with re-builder. http://t.co/Ick6z2gg7V
Good static analysis is usually a better solution than 'pay more attention'.
It's remarkable just how many different things represent equality over programming languages: http://t.co/DPerNrLCH4
You don't need a key-logger to collect passwords -- on login forms, users will occasionally type in password from other sites. Worrying.
Hot on the heels of 0.8, the first practical Trifle program -- a REPL! https://github.com/Wilfred/trifle/commit/17f76aec605617c7e654757edd4fa0419015d86a
I'm really impressed with how the Travis CI ecosystem is growing: http://t.co/aoA3KCQqkF
I've release Trifle lisp 0.8! Now with a complete exception system! https://github.com/Wilfred/trifle#trifle-lisp
64 commits later, Trifle lisp has a complete exception system! https://github.com/Wilfred/trifle/pull/4
Nasty org-mode gotcha: "when updating [w/] ELPA, you have to install [org-mode] in a session where no Org function has been called already."
The docker team consider Go to be an advantage because it's not taking a side in Ruby vs Python: http://t.co/xHnu9YPw24 Heh.
A little redundancy in syntax is good. I wasted several minutes on a bug that boiled down to writing `{x, y}` instead of `{x: y}` in Python.
A nifty new way of evaluating snippets of Smalltalk, in only 68 lines of code! http://t.co/EefqjdlWxA
OOP tutorials focus too much on describing physical things in the real world. Classes simply provide customisable execution of code.
Good UI matters for CLI apps too. A small use of colour makes a huge difference for reading output. http://t.co/YsO0vpXZSD
Emacs Start Up Profiler: https://github.com/jschaf/esup is ingenious and deserves to be better known. Turns out 25% of my startup time is GC!
"After 33+ years of using Emacs" https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.emacs/Q1SeBV1kkIs/vmY_eprGFDQJ Woah, impressive! I'd form strong opinions after that much usage too.
