This is a good example of Jeremy's monetization of open source software
http://ashkenas.com/code-reads/
Its a personal code read, mainly for several projects he's created. I'm
considering this for AgentScript once we get past our next goal:
incorporation of a few professional models.

I know folks have heard all the buzz about JavaScript, but may be
confused about what's the big deal. I gave a wedtech on it long ago but it
has some useful details:

This is a pointer to one of the heros of the JSE revolution, Jeremy
Ashkenas. He is best known for his work with CoffeeScript, a pythonic
version of JS that compiles to JS. He's also championed Literate
Programming where your code is meant to be read.
http://ashkenas.com/literate-coffeescript/
Here's the actual program Journo he's currently blogging with:
https://github.com/jashkenas/journo/blob/master/README.md
It's code even tho it looks like a document. The indented, highlighted
pieces are Journo's code. The entire page is parsed by the coffeescript
compiler and the runnable program produced.
If you use twitter, look him up, he's worth following.

.. he's recovering from his intense work via a huge around-the-world
trip. I believe he wrote Journo just before he left so that he could have
a live blog of his trip. You can follow him and his myriad photos at
http://ashkenas.com
The point of all this is a new maturity in the computing world that is
sorta a renaissance. Simplicity, Art, and directed to a goal.
