Hi all, First off, I'd like to say thanks for all the good questions and answers from folks on the list. I haven't been here long, but have already learned a bunch. Looking forward to ES4.
Anyway, I received this post* this morning in response to a notice I sent along about the ES4 overview. I'm not sure what to make of the story... Any comments or clarifications? * http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.tolug/36420 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Oct 27, 2007 3:44 AM Subject: Re: [TLUG]: ECMAScript ("Javascript") Version 4 - FALSE ALARM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, Oct 22, 2007 at 04:04:52PM -0400, Scott Elcomb wrote > An official overview[1] of "Javascript 2.0" was released today. > It will likely be some months (at least) for this version of the > language to show up in web browsers, but it might be a good idea to > get on-board early.

See the note on Slashdot Firehose at http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=350409 Since it's not too long, I'll quote it in its entirety... > "At The Ajax Experience conference, it was announced that an > ECMAScript4 white paper had been released.
