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."

    All of the proposed changes are a step backwards. JavaScript is currently a language with great, clean, semantics and slightly ugly syntax. They want to make the semantics less clean and the syntax even more horrendous.

    But wait until Sunday and we'll hear that Javascript 2.0 has arisen and all the stains of previous imperfect languages will be taken away.

    That depends. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMA_Script is on version four.
    To paraphrase Palmerston:

    only three people ever understood the Java* numbering schemes: a German professor, who went mad, Prince Albert, who died, and Larry Wall - who, asked to come up with something, promptly wrote a perl script and forgot it.
