DISQUS

You've hit the nail on the head. We badly need penetration otherwise good teams are not scared to attack us. We nearly have it with Nasri and van Persie but we need a bit more.

The people crying it for a "DM" don't know what they are talking about.

BTW, If you use this in Functional.js then you will have to change this line:

if (specialized[i] == _)

to this:

if (specialized[i] === _)

var _ = {toString: K("_")};

I don't think this syntax works in any other browser. You can also leave out the catch block completely in Mozilla (which is nice).

I'm having great fun pouring over your library. It is very well written and I'm learning a lot about functional programming from reading the source.

Regarding speed, you can improve performance by giving up your favourite idiom:

var args = [].slice.call(arguments, 0);

This is expensive because it creates a new Array object every time you slice an arguments object. Which is very often.

Mozilla provides a static slice method on the Array object. Or you can fake it yourself:

if (!Array.slice) { // Mozilla already supports this
Array.slice = function(array) {
// Slice an array-like object.
var slice = Array.prototype.slice;
return slice.apply(array, slice.call(arguments, 1));
};
}

And use it like this:

var args0 = Array.slice(arguments); // cast to Array
var args1 = Array.slice(arguments, 1); // a normal slice

I use it so often I make it global.

var slice = Array.slice;
var args = slice(arguments);

Hope that helps. Back to reading your source code for me. :)

I was at the London JavaScript night thing. Your talk was the highlight for me. E4X looks fab.
