Any Javascript fans here?
I found out this past month that javascript is a pretty cool programing language.

Yup, I really like it... Though I'm Object-C at the moment, and really enjoying that :)

Weirdo :lol:

Javascript is a nice scripting language. Modern implementations tend to be pretty fast, too.

Javascript is ok. Here's something I hacked couple of days ago: http://piru.mobi/

It's running on my N900 (yes, even the web server). The map is Google Maps API obviously.

Nothing too amazing in it, just some python CGI with javascript AJAX to fetch location updates from the web server.

Meh, I used to like it, but I quickly grew tired of it.  The 6502 thingy in my sig is powered by Javascript.

I like it !! it lacks a few key things though, ability to play sounds and file handling of anykind, well cookies but who likes cookies, unless there the eating kind ! heh

here is a poker dice game I wrote many moons ago using javascript, you can do way more with JS but its a simple script.

The anti-MorphOS crowd would pay good money for this information!

I would not mind doing some logic analysis with it. I am at a career crossroad and am afraid I will not use it. I got a book that has 900 + pages in it and want to cover it all.
Priorities, yuk.

@Piru
I shoot an arrow into your general direction. lol Supposed to be from Monty Python if I got it right.

I am amazed by Java_script, I saw a Wolfenstein clone the other day
and there is 3D also. How could we use JS to help the Amiga?

I think that is pretty cool, to have one for an 8 bit machine.
A VM for the C64/C128 would be nice.
Java is not Javascript.
They are two different animals.
Sorry, if you knew that.
I really did not kwow that till this year.
I have books on Java2, I read some of it a while back.
ciao
