With all due respect, Crockford jumped the shark some time ago.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoIn what sense?
- karlshea 14y agoProbably in the sense that half the community got butthurt over his rant about semicolons.
- debacle 14y agoCrockford is as important to modern JS as Lerdorf is to modern PHP. He has a very minimal role in the community, and most of that involves resting on his laurels and being divisive.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoReally? I'd see him as quite important to modern JS. Heck, he discovered JSON, that's certainly important, and he helps shape the ECMAScript standards. To ignore him would be foolish.
- ojr 14y agoDouglas Crockford should be named in my opinion, he loves javascript! ... Javascript: The Good Parts is a pretty good book, good real world examples, like one where Crockford shows you how to split a url with regular expressions in javascript JSlint is a pretty good tool, great parsing, using C, going on in the source JSON is great for data. Data is pretty important.
