Modern Javascript, perhaps? As in ES6
p0larboy··on Status of Sails.js
I used sails for multiple small to mid-size projects. IMO, there's nothing seriously wrong with sails. It's easily extendable and if you don't like anything (Waterline has no transaction etc), just replace it.

For beginners, you can still use sails to build apps and also take the project structure of sails as a good starting point for building node.js applications.

The only minor gripe I had with sails is that the "neglected" vibe it gives on github.

Otherwise, I will continue to use sails and also check out trailsjs on the side.

p0larboy··on CSS3 Flip Switch

p0larboy··on CSS3 Flip Switch
i thought i had it fixed with background-clip but it still haunts me..
p0larboy··on CSS3 Flip Switch
It chanced upon me that i should have used input after I had completed the styling for the flip switch. Since I was already halfway there, I just went ahead with the javascript binding.

If I'm not wrong, firefox support for css perspective is lacking hence the flip switch looks flatter in firefox.

Saw your fiddle example. Awesome stuff~!
