Sorry, wasn't aware of that. I guess that makes since, though, since Crockford's focus seems to be on the "script" focus of JavaScript and less on developing it as a large scale language (hence the removal of packages, etc.). > It is a big step backward caused by microsoft's unwillingness to support ES4 > in Internet Explorer. I don't quite see how it's a big step backward *or* a black eye for Adobe (as your blog argued). There are dozens of languages in widespread use out there... AS3 being (approximately) based on a standard, while a good bullet point for marketing, never yielded any advantage as far as I could see. Troy.
