Probably
Competitions could be fun, but an issue that comes to mind, is that if they all started on a day, like this one has, then Aus forumers would be first to find everything before Europe/USA have the chance to.
Perhaps they could start and end at the exact same time for everyone to get around this. Although then, you'd have to try and find the best time to start it because some will likely be sleeping or whatever..

Heyy Indy, I've been having a great time in my computing course, I've been learning a language I've never heard of before that's strongly typed, way different to javascript. It's started to make me think more about being more descriptive when naming variables and using object oriented javascript including prototype helping to make code easier to read and manage.
What do you think about the javascript type system? Do you not mind having most abstract data types just stored as arrays or plain objects, or do you prefer to create new object types when they're needed? Do you organize things with a modular pattern or use globals?
I'm playing around with the idea of using new object types to store relatively simple data, and it's improved readability over what would otherwise have been lots and lots of arrays. I think using Object.prototype has also made it easier to understand and made it more flexible.
See this example code which I've just started:
https://googledrive.com/host/0B_P4A1paVEPbdkxIWWdiUVlqSkU/types.js
I feel bad about not finishing the polls, but I couldn't really at the moment even if I found the time to work on it. And even if I could finish it, I don't think I'd be able to keep up with bug reports and other continuous management I'd probably have to do, so I don't think anything will come out of it. It was really interesting to learn from though, and I'm surprised I got that far with it.
So if you wanted to add a way to embed strawpoll, that would be fine with me. Although it looks like there isn't as much demand for polling as there was before.
What sort of projects do you have outside of rs?
E: Something I discovered and found interesting recently:
function f(a){return function(b){return !b?a:f(a+b)}}
=
f(x_1)(x_2)(...)(x_n)() = x_1+x_2+...+x_n

Hiya Blasty, good see you're enjoying your computing course, tbh I'd be surprised if you weren't.
Some interesting questions you've thrown out here, I'll do my best to give my opinion.
I'm going to start with more of a philosophical angle on this rather than a technical angle. In many ways OOP and Procedural programming is a mindset. Procedural code can follow some of the fundamentals in OOP as OOP can be written procedurally.
For me OOP is nice because I can see it in my head, objects in code are akin to real world items and I guess my brain makes an analogy that pertains to the real world. This sort of applies to re-usability in an abstract sense, I'll explain next.
I see many people say OOP has better re-usability, and it's kind of true but not true in generic terms. In a sense, a function that accepts an object can accept different object types. When that is taken advantage of, some of OOP's true potential is unleashed...polymorphism.
I avoid the use of globals where possible in javascript. Yes I do use them, but sparingly. This comes more under scope chain management and I'm not sure how other languages handle global and local variables. Fortunately in javascript where data sits, how it is processed and prioritised is well documented and easy to maintain.
In all honesty I'm not well versed in enough languages to feel confident enough to take the Procedural - OOP discussion much further, however the aim here is show what I like about the javascript system, thus I have shown what I like about the OOP system.
Don't worry about the poll, as far as I feel it already served it's purpose
As for my projects, I don't have much going on atm, though I'm hoping that will change soon
I'll take a look at this later: function f(a){return function(b){return !b?a:f(a+b)}}
Thanks for you post Blasty, I have wondered how you have been doing, and even though I expect you are killing it, it's always nice to get an update from you

Seems to be an issue when someone with a similar name is quoted and it outlines it as if you were quoted. I'm sure this is a rare scenario
