/*
 * An implementation of Ruby's string.succ method.
 * By Devon Govett
 *
 * Returns the successor to str. The successor is calculated by incrementing characters starting 
 * from the rightmost alphanumeric (or the rightmost character if there are no alphanumerics) in the
 * string. Incrementing a digit always results in another digit, and incrementing a letter results in
 * another letter of the same case.
 *
 * If the increment generates a carry, the character to the left of it is incremented. This

###
# JSONDB - a compressed JSON format
# By Devon Govett
# Originally proposed by Peter Michaux - http://michaux.ca/articles/json-db-a-compressed-json-format
#
# jsondb.pack converts an array of objects with the same keys (i.e. from a database) 
# and flattens them into a single array, which is much smaller than the pure json 
# representation where the keys are repeated for each item in the array.  
# Combine with JSON.stringify to send compressed JSON data over the network.

var arr = [],

for(var i = 0; i < 5000; i++)
    arr.push(obj);

// jsondb(arr) looks something like this:
// ["abcdef", "qqq", "19", [1, 13, [1, 2, 3, 4]], [1, 13, [1, 2, 3, 4]]...]

This CoffeeScript:

15 + if somevar then "%"

used to compile to this JavaScript:

15 + (somevar ? "%" : null)

which returned 15 if somevar was false.
Now it compiles to:

// 1: how could you rewrite the following to make it shorter?
foo ? bar.doSomething(el) : bar.doSomethingElse(el);

// 2: what is the faulty logic in the following code?

//you are creating a local version of foo instead of overwriting
//the global version.  Thus, foo will always be equal to world.
//The problem is fixed below.
var foo = 'hello';
