So, you think it's a good thing (for Lua) that Netscape made JS instead of just using Lua?

- pikachu_is_cool 10y agoYeah, because it would have solidified Lua == 2.1. Instead of Lua == 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, or LuaJIT.
- marvy 10y agoThat would be a pity.
- etiene 10y agoIt's a good thing for Lua but not a good thing for the web and these things are partially mutually exclusive. One of the reasons Lua's evolution is better than JS is because managing versions when you have to keep browser compatibility is way more difficult.
- marvy 10y agoHm. Good point.
