MoarDammit 3.0.0

MoarDammit turned 8 this year in August and I thought it might be about time that I migrate and rewrite the backend for the site once again. This time however there was a real reason! The original MoarDammit in 2012 was a hand-rolled framework that very quickly showed growing pains

Creating Namespaces in Javascript

I may be the only one who absolutely hates relative paths within javascript with such a fervor. It makes code ugly and heavily linked to explicit a file structure rather than folder structure. So I made this module Namespacer-js which should make requiring internal modules a much easier task, but

MoarDammit Beta 2.1.3
