tl;dr: split the linter into three modules:
- ERR: things that break your code;
- WARN: things that might break your code; and
- STYLE: things that make your code ugly.

That’s 3 seconds, down from 45 seconds before the change. Not bad.

a jshint pre-commit hook for git
As promised in “a JavaScriptCore wrapper for jshint”: a git pre-commit hook to lint your JavaScript using jshint:

a JavaScriptCore wrapper for jshint
Last night, I opened a pull request (my second) on the JSHint project. I created a wrapper for Apple’s JavaScriptCore (JSC) engine, which ships with (effectively) every Mac that’s out there.
Why JavaScriptCore?
That’s the obvious question, right? Why even bother creating a wrapper for JSC when JSHint is already out-of-the-box ready for Node.js, and ships with environment scripts to cover Rhino and Windows Script Host?
The answer is simple: I think JSHint is a meaningful project in the JavaScript community and I wanted to help lower the barrier-of-entry for a few more people.
As I noted in my pull request, many folks are excited about and working on Node.js—but not everyone. Having to pull Node.js and futz about with building it, that’s a barrier for some people. Echo that sentiment with Rhino.
But I know a ton of JavaScript developers that are on Macs. And every Mac has JSC right there in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaScriptCore.framework; you can’t hide from it.
So I thought to myself: take away that excuse. Don’t know how to build Node? Can’t be bothered to build a Rhino jar? “That’s fine, but I noticed your little glowing apple there…”
We’ll save the git pre-commit hook lessons for next time.
UPDATE: Not even 24 hours later, the JSC wrapper is accepted into the JSHint project. I promise to deliver that git pre-commit hook lesson soon.

fixing jshint options arg for rhino
Happy to report that I got my first commit accepted into JSHint.
fixing jshint options arg for rhino - rhino reads the args as strings off the command line - thus `white=false` rhino sees `false` as a (truthy) string
It’s minor… but it felt good to give a little back.
