"JavaScript: The Good Parts" was a great and a very important book back in the day. I am sure it inspired many of the improvements JavaScript has seen since then. But as it has seen these improvements, and as they were many indeed, I am not sure the book is still as relevant as it once was. Or to put it differently: There are many more good parts to JS these days compared to when the book was released :)

Do you know if any linux distributions ever fixed it in their packages?

It is so nice to see this on here. I started frab way back for FrOSCon, a german free and open source software conference (which you should totally attend if you can make it!).

I stopped contributing when I stopped organizing FrOSCon, but thankfully Mario, the current maintainer, has picked it up and he does a tremendous job ever since. Also a big thank you to all contributors.

Also, the 5.1 series will not receive any future security fixes now that 6.0 is out.

So you could consider upgrading to 5.2 instead of 6.0. This is just one minor version step so should be less daunting. And 5.2 will receive security updates for a while yet.

Read about passopolis (https://passopolis.com/) here on HN. It is a fork of mitro, a former lastpass competitor.

A quick google search also turns up Passbolt (https://www.passbolt.com/).

I cannot comment on either of them as I have not used them myself, but I would be interested if anyone has.

The articles mentions the approach to have one schema per tenant but sadly does not mention this again afterwards.

Are there serious issues with this approach I am not aware of?

Please note that asciidoctor already is an alternative implementation. The original asciidoc tool (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/index.html) is written in python.

Both, the original and asciidoctor, offer a CLI tool to convert asciidoc to different formats (and there is always pandoc). Additionally, asciidoctor aims to integrate with JVM languages courtesy of JRuby. So you have multiple implementations callable (in one way or another) from any language imaginable.

Thanks! This is really nice. I find it frustrating to browse remote job ads only to find out at the end, that they mean "remote, but US only".

(Of course I can understand why US companies make this restriction, I just wish other job boards would help them make this more clear up front.)

Thanks a lot! Exactly what I was looking for.

I remember being very intrigued by the article back in the day and I revisited it at least twice to find out if steve ever confirmed what language he was writing about.

Today people seem to take for granted that the NBL was in fact javascript, but I still cannot find any source for this.

Does anyone know more and can point me in the right direction?

> I'm not sure how you feel, dear reader, but my Ruby environments feel like one giant, brittle hack

Of course things are not perfect (and guix may have a few cool ideas), but I think we should keep in mind that both rvm and bundler have been huge improvements.

The hacks people needed to come up with before rvm and bundler existed were an order of a magnitude more brittle.
