Aren't like half of those projects designed to normalize the language? And a third of them are actually written in C, not JavaScript? I guess your comment is technically neutral, so I don't really know what point you were trying to make. But I assumed it was a refutation of the article.
- yid 15y ago"normalize" is a relative term. Does CPAN normalize Perl? Does STL normalize C++? The prevalence of a suite of libraries and tools is a good thing.
- nirvdrum 15y agoPerhaps "language" was the wrong term, but "execution environment" might work. jQuery allows one to treat browsers uniformly so you're not dealing with DOM quirks all over the place. CoffeeScript is designed to basically replace JavaScript syntax. CPAN wouldn't really be a fair comparison, but boost would be.
