Javascript was such a hack... and really has never had anything to do with
Java, except in the eyes of marketing weenies (I can say that, having been
one), except a bit of syntax that it also has in common with most OO
languages.  I'm intimately familiar with the genesis of Javascript, if
anyone cares to hear about it.  I co-authored the first O'Reilly Javascript
book, which never got into print because the language changed so fast that
our examples were breaking faster than we could fix them...
