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."

    Use the error console in Firefox/Seamonkey. Very specific errors.
    Seamonkey even has a javascript debugger.

    If your using IE, well then *snigger* your screwed. ;)

    These new features are nice and all, but what I really want as a Web developer is for a Javascript standard thorough and widespread enough that I can write scripts that work on most browsers without a bunch of hacks to make sure that each browser gets the right code. Anyone have a prognosis on this?
    You mean this? An (almost) universal metalanguage that generates the right Javascript/Actionscript/Neko scripts for different environments.
