Comment #57 on issue 235 by mconstable: Support the Javascript E4X extension
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=235
I suspect those who dislike the very idea of E4X have never used it. Server
side example...
var header = "My Page",
stuff = "I love e4x"
var body =
<body>
<h1>{header}</h1>
<p>{stuff)</p>
</body>;
print(<html>{body}</html>)
Note the multiline body var, there is no other way to have clean looking
multiline "strings" in Javascript and that alone is worth E4X, add variable
interpolation and it's simply a killer template engine... add serious XML
workhorse features and anyone who thinks E4X is not useful or just a fad
simply has no clue.
