OK, don't use the "bad parts."
But it's a lot more than that. It's the "taste" of the language itself, and Javascript tastes much more like the kind of language I like using.
Lua always struck me as being so simple it crosses the line into Factor/Forth territory.
- orangecat 16y agoOK, don't use the "bad parts." That's what I try to do, which turns it into a crippled Ruby. And there's no getting around it silently doing the wrong thing if I ever forget a "var" or "===".
- jashkenas 16y agoFor what it's worth, there are tools that can help you avoid the bad parts. JSLint won't let you forget a "var" or "===" ... and if you use CoffeeScript, it's not possible to forget "var" or "===", because there aren't any.
