Docco is a documentation generator by Jeremy Ashkenas that embraces the literate-programming style: it takes your source code and produces annotated HTML documentation that shows your comments side-by-side with your code. The idea is to read code like a book — commentary on one side, code on the other — which helps reviewers and learners understand intent and implementation simultaneously. It supports many languages (via configuration) and is intentionally quick and dirty, prioritizing...

CoffeeScript is a lightweight programming language that compiles into JavaScript. It adds syntactic sugar inspired by Ruby, Python, and Haskell to improve brevity and readability, while producing predictable and efficient JavaScript output. Its design emphasizes that “It’s just JavaScript,” meaning any JS library works seamlessly, and compiled output is clean and performant.

Browser diet is a community-driven front-end performance guide presented as a fun, colorful website that explains how to make web pages faster and “lighter.” It collects advice from experienced front-end developers and organizes it into practical sections covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, server configuration, and general best practices. The project was built as a static site powered by DocPad, with content written in Markdown and translated into multiple languages, making it...

This repository preserves an early open-source snapshot of the service that became Replit, a platform for writing and running code directly in the browser. The project’s core idea is instant, zero-setup programming: open a page, pick a language, type, and run—no local installs or environment wrangling. It combines an in-browser editor with a runnable backend or sandbox so code can execute safely and return output in seconds. Sharing and collaboration are first-class: code can be saved, forked, and embedded, which makes it useful for tutorials, classrooms, and quick demos. ...
