@armsbottomer. Was really good to read your response. I agree. How's Lisp treating you? I've been dabbling for a bit, but nothing serious yet. Did you know the original Netscape LiveScript interpreter was written in Lisp?
I haven't used Clojure but would like to try. What's your setup like? How can I get up and running quickly on OS X? I've played with Paul Graham's Arc and found it exciting. That and some mucking around in MzScheme. I'm also slowly (like... this will take *years* for me) building a Javascript-based Lisp interpreter. Not so much for usefulness, but so that it forces me to better understand both Javascript and Lisp (or at least Common Lisp / Scheme; I want lexical closures of course).
Those who hate Javascript are perhaps confused by the "Java" part of the name. Forget Java. Think Lisp, Scheme, and maybe even Prologue. Javascript is actually an amazing language. One just needs to unlearn a lot of the latter-day OO baggage. If you're not convinced maybe one way to ease into it is to use JSON instead of XML. Functions as data. Very nice.
- oh yes JSON, what an argument.
btw javascript is not a language , it's a script, please build me a socket or capture a real computer stream with javascript.spraycan - socket or capture a real computer stream with javascript.spraycan
- there's something called web sockets being proposed for standard, latest chrome supports it, works with JSernexbcn
