Right now, JavaScript is the way to go. My opinion is that programmers love having more choices. Like on the server we are using Python Ruby or even JavaScript nowadays. But what we've got on the client? Only JavaScript. We had a lot of opportunities to "fix" the language but we stopped having another option to the language. I love programming in JavaScript. Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that having other scripting languages as an option is not such a bad thing.
btw, Lua is small, like 202KB small, tarred and gzipped. :) I am giving Lua as an example because it has similar features as JS and I think JS programmers will not have any difficulties coding in Lua right away. Except maybe for that table offset Peter was talking about. :) -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
