// Here is a proposal for minimalist JavaScript classes, humbly offered.

// There are (at least) two different directions in which classes can be steered.
// If we go for a wholly new semantics and implementation, then fancier classical
// inheritance can be supported with parallel prototype chains for true inheritance
// of properties at both the class and instance level.

// If however, we keep current JavaScript prototype semantics, and add a form that
// can desugar to ES3, things must necessarily stay simpler. This is the direction
// I'm assuming here.

UPDATE: CrunchBase have now restored their own documentation so you should now use the canonical information at http://developer.crunchbase.com/. I am leaving this here in case of existing links to it but it is of historical interest only.

NOTE: This documentation has been put here because I couldn't find it anywhere else. I am not associated with Crunchbase in any way. I cannot help you with your Crunchbase API problems. If you need help try here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/crunchbase-api

Node.js ticksort in CoffeeScript!

Beating your sleepsort by magnitudes! Takes only SUM(argv) ticks and does not overflow the stack either. Fork the gist if you can reduce the size of ticksort.coffee.
