It requires that you do most of the work yourself - work that is mechanical, and basically requires that you be a human compiler.
It would be a good idea to write some JavaScript before you make statements like these with so much conviction.
- scott_s 16y agoFair enough, but the examples I've seen look like continuation passing style (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation-passing_style http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation-passing_style), which is something we know how to abstract behind language syntax and semantics. In what way am I wrong?
