| I'm not gonna bother quoting you to fisk you. Your approach towards my evidence is weak overall. I'm gonna throw more evidence at you. Miller and Dean Tribble have been working on WeakRefs lately: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-weakrefs Crockford's personal site no longer has the original JSON description, and neither does the Wayback Machine, but his site does still have a section on E: http://www.crockford.com/ In this talk [0], Crockford discusses the origin of JSON. He mentions working with Chip Morningstar (this guy http://habitatchronicles.com/2017/05/what-are-capabilities/) and has oblique references to his prior work. He doesn't bother to explain what he was doing during the 90s here, and at this point social interaction becomes required to learn more. 'hammering the ES peg in the E hole' is wrong. They're hammering the E peg into the ES hole. Not all of us believe in this approach; some of us think that JS is irredeemable and that we should keep iterating with languages like Pony and Monte which expand on the original E concepts. Like I said, kicking and screaming. I don't know why you all kick and scream so much, but you do. [0] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C-JoyNuQJs |
And I don't even like javascript.
