It should come as a surprise to few that the strongly opinionated and fiercely convinced of having seen 'the light' are not under-represented amongst programmers. I could see why Crockford might be moved to consider a world where a set of perceived Best Practices were adhered to across the board as a worthwhile thing to work towards. > > >> No one is forcing anyone to use anything ( your work environment may vary >> ) - but the simple math is this: JS is going to be everywhere, lots of >> people will be coding in JS, demand for expertise ( or competence, or >> ability to gain it ) outstrips supply.

Considering that jslint is both opensource and written in JS getting it to do what you want shouldn't be a challenge for the coding mastery that informs your stylistic mojo. You could of course also just try to get over yourself and your fancy pants 'house style' you special little snowflake you :p /me ducks Personally I am happy to have jslint bitching at me in my editor, and have no qualms about agreeing to disagree with it now and then. > Matt. > > -- > Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ > Posting guidelines: > https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "nodejs" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs?hl=en?hl=en > -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
