• Progressively enhance Javascript syntax: ensure vanilla Javascript still works as normal
• avoid nice-to-haves, concentrate on small useful feature set and pragmatism
• Hackable, modular, extendable and testable
• whitespace is not significant. Looks nice, but is painful to work with.

Example

Edge::add = (nick, name, complete) {
  @client.select 15
  user = User.find! {id: nick}
  puzzle = Puzzle.find! {name: name}
  err, data = client.set! "u:#{user}:p:#{puzzle}"
  complete()
}
