Largely, but not entirely. e.g. http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2005/06/02/javascript-sucks-volume-1/ and http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2005/07/18/javascript-sucks-volume-2/ include some points about inconsistent behaviour of core language facilities (syntax, builtin types) between interpreters. -Andrew. _______________________________________________ coders mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/coders
