enough-analyst-54434

enough-analyst-54434
08/27/2015, 12:43 AMif that's a good rep of the native problem, its nice and self contained at least - e
enough-analyst-54434
08/27/2015, 12:43 AMI like the webpack for IT though - e
enough-analyst-54434
08/27/2015, 12:43 AMesp. since we need to support webpack - b

08/27/2015, 12:47 AMSo it's very clear - mod stupid compilers like scala has - that the only hard think about adding a new lang to pants is dealing with dep resolution. - e

08/27/2015, 12:47 AMThis was the hard thing for Go, its the hard thing - I'm pretty sure - for Node - e
enough-analyst-54434
08/27/2015, 12:48 AMAnd in the end, the hard thing about this hard thing is deciding when to be loose like the underlying or exert more control - b
bright-dinner-81701
08/27/2015, 12:49 AMyeah its hard to exert control in this case - e
enough-analyst-54434
