Just heard you on JavaScript Jabber Jake. A good and interesting episode.

It seems to be something to do with the underscore at the arrow function here in the test cases: describe('Initial Tests', _ => {

I'm getting the following error when trying to submit code that's running fine in https://repl.it/

ReferenceError: encode is not defined

I'd say that the addition of a "Fastest" category could cover that but then where do you stop? Do you add "Shortest"? Or what about a "Shortest and Fastest" category and then a "Cleverist and Fastest but not Shortest" category? If the Clever and Best Practices categories were used correctly I think we'd just about have it covered.

There's two categories of UpVote for solutions. The problem is that the most concise solutions are getting UpVoted as "Best Practices" when they are clearly not. They are "Clever". That is why we use minifiers in the real world. I can only assume that this occurs due to folk who don't code for a living not realising the least code possible is very very rarely the Best Practice.

Not a problem at all. Thank you for the response. I think you've got a great platform here. It really appeals to the coder who is looking to translate their skills from one language to another in particular. I've not seen a better site on which you actually problem solve and therefore learn quickly and properly. Watching videos and reading text does not teach you half as well as actually coding does as I'm sure you're very much aware. It's not a site for beginners but then with all the other free media out there for beginners why would you pay to begin to learn to code. As I say I'd certainly be willing to pay for an account that had an uptime of nearer 100%. Even if that meant employing someone to do what you did on the return from your vacation. I hope you had a good holiday. Cheers, Andy in Scotland.

Perhaps a premium account could be devised for CW? I'd happily pay a few dollars a month to have a stable CW platform I could use. Say you only need to pay if you want to do Kata but you still have full access otherwise so if you took a break for a few months your account would still be live and unaffacted. Money can surely fix the performance issues? I've tried to use CW twice in the last week and both times it's been down. I was hoping to use it daily for the next few months but I may have to turn to another medium to sharpen my JS skills as I'm spending a lot of my time attempting to submit only for it to time out.

Yeah it's down.

Hi. What are the test cases for Submit please? I keep failing the last one. It looks as if it's the same test case as Test but it can't be as I pass Test fine.

Yeah it's not been just on one particular Kata so I don't think it's the 7 second limitation. I was getting a bad gateway error too. Looks server side?

Running Test and Submitting has been timing out for most of the past 4 hours. I've checked the Status page but there's no mention of any issues? My connection is fine to everything else.

Me also.

In JS I'm getting "✘ Expected: 3.54, instead got: 3.54 " using to.Fixed. There's what appears to be 2 space chars after the second 3.54 which I cannot replicate here. Something appears to be adding these two space chars? Assuming that's the problem here.
