Sorry for jumping in the conversation that late, but I want to address this. JavaScript was used in the web servers that Netscape had, and that was at the very beginning of JS history. Right now JavaScript might be winning some extra popularity because of Node.js and the fact that many phone OSs support a web runtime that allows access to native APIs, but JavaScript had popularity as an embedded scripting language since long, long time ago. See some examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript#Uses_outside_web_pages Some of the examples are recent, but some have been successful uses of JavaScript as an embedded scripting language that prove that is a nice choice for that purpose. A complete different story is the fact that, obviously, dropping VimL in favor of any other language would be a move that probably would alienate the user and developer community. -- Alex (a.k.a. suy) | GPG ID 0x0B8B0BC2 http://barnacity.net/ | http://disperso.net -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
