Okay so prop 8 was kind of dick move but nothing to fire a guy over, but could we discuss the Actually Problematic things Eich has done, like javascript? It has too many semicolons and curlybrackets so I now I’m procrastinating learning javascript by learning lisp and julia instead and while this is definitely intriguing (lisp has this certain fascinating purity, and julia just seems incredibly awesome) it isn’t exactly what I’m supposed to be doing right now
Coffeescript.
It fixes the syntax problems with javascript decently, but doesn’t do much for the lack of type system or the impurity.
Wait wait wait my idea of “I’d rather write a program to convert ruby to javascript…” _has actually been done_?
THIS IS BEST THING AND I AM VERY THANKFUL!
