> Crockford wrote his book "The good parts" that tried to write java in javascript

This is a weird statement because Crockford is known for actively recommending against writing JavaScript like Java, and goes as far as saying JS is best used when you avoid classes and `this`.

I think this must be a reaction to his generally conservative, “avoid using these features and write wordier code” views.
