If I need to create an array with a specified length, and the length is a literal, JSLint is happy enough with this: var arr = new Array(50); If, however, the...
I can understand how . and [^...] might be dangerous in a "match" regular expression, but in a replace I cannot see the harm in them. My typical example would...

I had difficulty finding an up-to-date version of jslint.js that worked from the commandline and was easy to set up, so I wrote one myself. It's a short ruby...

Iterating over an array backwards like: /*jslint plusplus: true */ var ii, foo = []; for (ii = foo.length; --ii;) { foo.push("hello"); } produces the error...
JSLint now warns when properties contain the substring 'Sync'. The use of that substring in Nodejs is to identify methods that can cause blockage. Such methods...
