Why JavaScript is important
Mitchell Baker posted on Firefox’s effort to implement ECMAscript 4 (which is really JavaScript with another name) and she said:
JavaScript is a fundamental element of the web. It’s fundamental in human interaction with the web. Updating JavaScript’s capabilities updates the power of the web itself.I agree with her. You may dismiss JavaScript as a toy; as a decent idea that has gone horribly, horribly wrong; or a good gun to shoot yourself in the foot with. The this day of web-enablement, you will come in contact with JavaScript. And you’d better be ready to deal with it.
