- rsheridan6 18y agoYou'd think from the name that it's like Java, which is analogous to Judaism, but it really has nothing to do with Java. Maybe Madonna-style pop Kabala?
- icey 18y agoGnosticism
- IsaacSchlueter 18y agoJavascript would be some kind of new-agey pop religion. It looks at first like Christianity or Judaism, but it somehow brings in funky zen concepts like lambdas and prototype chains. No one really took it seriously, then one day, it was just everywhere. No two implementations are quite the same, and most people do it horribly.
- nuclear_eclipse 18y agoSo, Astrology?
- IsaacSchlueter 18y agoMaybe… disclaimer: I'm a professional javascripter 1. Everyone knows it a little, but few actually use it for much, and hardly anyone really understands it. 2. A lot of the ideas came out of old tribal warfare, and was only standardized relatively recently. 3. People who do it full time are WAY overpaid. ;)
- herval 18y agodoes anyone really do javascript fulltime...? It sounds to me like doing CSS fulltime. Or writing XML configuration files for a living. Or something...

- szopa 18y agoHm, JavaScript is in fact a nice little Scheme with a cute little object system originating from Self with an ugly, ugly, ugly C-like/Javaish syntax and some dark, horrible secrets (like an asymmetric, atransitive `=='). Moreover, a lot of people use it, but not so many understand it... My guess is that JavaScript is Zensunni: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zensunni#Zensunni http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zensunni#Zensunni.
