1 thousands lines of code? wow. I appreciate the work and thought put into this, but pattern does the same thing (and in my opinion in a more elegant way) in 30 loc. (i.e. https://github.com/dscape/p/blob/master/pattern.js)
i also have a hard time with people saying a string for pattern matching is elegant. wondering if anyone here ever used haskell :) nuno On Sat, Jul 21, 2012 at 9:24 PM, Joshua Gross <[email protected]>wrote: > I disagree that it's overkill.
