I think Javascript also suffers from something like this: functions inside functions inside functions inside functions. If Java is the king (queen?) of horrible naming conventions, Javascript is the prince(ss) of horrible code structure. It might be why both are named Java... var foo = function(foo, bar){ var bar = function ( function (x) { this.something = function (z) { return function (y){}}}}}; //or something like that. Only a fool would think the code above is real or even correct.
