Excellent - another internet cock-fight, with both sides managing to act like total cocks..

What would be better is for both sides to fix their code: Crockford to fix minify for the edge cases like this (result: better, more robust code equals a win), and the twitter boys to add a semicolon for these edge cases (result: better, more robust code equals a win).

But instead, as usual on the internet, it's just devolving into lots of "waah waah waah".



Crockford won't "fix" minify, because it's much easier to make JSMin work for a safe subset of JS than it is to make it work for all of JS.
