Web 2.0, Meet JavaScript 2.0

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the just-plain-geeked dept.

Jeremy Martin writes "Well I suppose it's an undeniable fact about us programmer-types — every now and then we just can't help but get excited about something really nerdy. For me right now, that is definitely JavaScript 2.0. I was just taking a look at the proposed specifications and I am really, truly excited about what we have coming."

    It might surprise you to learn this but javascript is actually quite a nice language -- I'm a Real Programmer(TM) I'm guessing what you mean by "Real" is "C++" -- surely no-one else would call JavaScript a nice language. I mean, if all browsers supported Ruby and Python it would quickly die a death.

    Unless of course you're a Real Basic programmer -- that would also make sense ;)
