This make really sense but applied from a lower level language to a higher level one. You don't write a Haskell code generator in Erlang because you feel more comfortable using the Erlang toolset and VM. You write in Haskell because you need/like Haskell. Despite some people think JavaScript is not a bad language, is the world around it that is not as good as we'd like it to be. But JavaScript is the heart of the scripting of many browsers and it's a dynamic language at the same level as Python, Ruby or whatever. I think that the best way to learn and develop in JavaScript is to learn it, master it, read about it, experiment with it, get a library for it and so on. You notice how many times I used *it* and not "something else" :D ? Pyjamas (and GWT) is a fine idea but in my opinion has been conceived for the wrong reasons. -- Lawrence, www.neropercaso.it - oluyede.org "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it" - Upton Sinclair --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
