Steve Yegge on Rhino on Rails (video)
- systems 19y agoso javascript is becoming probably the most portable language ever! * Browsers (all of them!) * Java VM * .Net * Windows scripting * infopath * Ajax * Rails Interesting! Learning javascript nowadays is definitely a good time investment. I still wonder if the google ppl ever checked helma http://dev.helma.org/ http://dev.helma.org/
- michaelneale 19y agoyeah its a decent language. even has a formal specification and all ! Plus there are many increasingly tight implementations of engines for it (webkit, firefox, adobe, rhino, ... etc). So people are getting real good at optimising it for the platform it runs on. We could do worse then JS being the "next big language" as steve likes to put it.
