JavaScript Slam Poetry

Pyramids be gone!

ES7 Async Functions

JavaScript is getting async functions (or already has them if you count Babel.JS) and with them a way to finally slay the evil pyramid. This new language feature lets you write asynchronous code that almost looks synchronous, while maintaining the same semantics as promises. This lets you shed your .then and .catch boilerplate and escape those nested callbacks in favour of clean, explicit, maintainable code.

The Joy of Composition

Why stateless rendering is pure bliss

React just got stateless components, meaning that they are in essence pure functions for rendering. Pure functions make it dead simple - even fun - to refactor your views

# Just a work in progress and adapted to what I need right now. 
# It does uploads (via a file-like object that you write to) and
# I've started on downloads. Needs the development version of Boto from Github.
#
# Example:
#
#     glacierconn = GlacierConnection(AWS_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
#     writer = GlacierWriter(glacierconn, GLACIER_VAULT)
#     writer.write(somedata)
