utkarshkukreti··on Scala.js 1.0.0-RC1
Anyone know what's the minimum size of the compiled JS now? Is there any way Scala.js can produce code as compact as BuckleScript/ReasonML in the future?

I like Scala's syntax but the last time I tried Scala.js, the output was several hundred kb for something slightly more than a Hello World -- it used some List and Seq functions. I'd bet the comparable ReasonML output would likely be in tens of kb (including List and Array functions from Belt).

I _had_ to add it -- I can't write code without vim keybindings!

Adam Wathan (creator of Tailwind CSS) is working on an excellent screencast series about using Tailwind: https://tailwindcss.com/screencasts. I highly recommend watching it.

Hey everyone!

I tweeted a video of the app in action here: https://twitter.com/utkarshkukreti/status/115832371651577856...

I made this TailwindCSS Playground over the last two weeks. I really like the core idea of Tailwind and the productivity gains it gives and would like to build more stuff with it in the future!

Features:

* Compile custom @tailwindcss config and CSS in the browser

* Live preview in 5 screen sizes

* Class name autocompletion with CSS definition preview

* Save code online or export .zip

* Vim/Emacs/Sublime key bindings + Emmet

Does this plugin generate standalone themes or do they depend on the plugin?

Would be nice to have a 'monthly' price for each instance, calculated for 720 hours, for easily comparing to other services.
utkarshkukreti··on Fast JavaScript Max/Min
Ah yes, there was no need of using min_i in my benchmark.

That's a pretty big difference, and I wouldn't have expected that much of a difference for assigning one extra variable in the loop.

utkarshkukreti··on Fast JavaScript Max/Min
It might be faster to write the code, but it's definitely not the fastest way to find the minimum/maximum value. Some simple test cases I wrote show a simple for loop iterator over an array to be 2x faster than Math.min.apply in Firefox 4, and 3x faster in Chrome 10.
