Bump your phoenix dep

Phoenix v1.3.0 is a backwards compatible release with v1.2.x. To upgrade your existing 1.2.x project, simply bump your phoenix dependency in mix.exs:

The future is here: Classless object-oriented programming in JavaScript.

Douglas Crockford, author of JavaScript: The Good parts, recently gave a talk called The Better Parts, where he demonstrates how he creates objects in JavaScript nowadays. He doesn't call his approach anything, but I will refer to it as Crockford Classless.

Crockford Classless is completely free of class, new, this, prototype and even Crockfords own invention Object.create.

I think it's really, really sleek, and this is what it looks like:

function dog(spec) {

	defmodule Scream do
	defmacro scream!(ast) do
	{exclams, res} = count_exclams(ast, 0)
	case exclams do
	_ when exclams < 5 ->
	quote do "You say: #{inspect(unquote(res))}." end
	_ when exclams < 10 ->
	quote do "You yell: #{inspect(unquote(res))}!" end
	_ when exclams < 15 ->
	quote do "You scream: #{inspect(unquote(res))}!!" end
