Perhaps with ideas that might end up in a future ESn. See below about the human language we used to talk about computer languages.

Many are wildly different than JS (like one I use, ClojureScript). Many, many others are extensions/supersets of JS. I am not picky about the language used to described these maybe-languages; but this is "not a new language" in the same sense that 100 others on that list are not a new language. I've been describing both types as "new language". I like these extensions, I am just disappointed that none of the highly numerous other extensions was good enough to adopt. -- Kyle Cordes http://kylecordes.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
