I think you missed my point. C++ requires C code be embedded to make it a language
environment. C++ does not have "xxx = 1" which is actually part of the C
language.
C++ does not require embedded C as it's a totally different language
specification. For example, it supports type inference so one could
define variables using "auto xxx = 1". C does not support this.
Do you consider HTML's '<input onclick="some javascript">'
fundamentally different to C++'sĀ 'input::onclick { some C }'?
I don't consider them equivalent.
And you would be wrong. I can actually justify my point. Both create the
onclick method. One in javascript and the other in C++.
And you could be wrong! And I think you are :)
Up untilĀ 2009, JavaScript was not valid outside of HTML.
Mozilla released Rhino way back in 1998.
I stand corrected but Rhino never gained mainstream momentum. NodeJS changed
that and really became a widely used external JavaScript.
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that uses libuv for async processing and
Googles V8 JavaScript engine. V8 is the engine, not Node.js
