Gary Bernhardt gives a bit of future history at PyCon 2014 https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death-of-javascript and, to the relief of all present, pronounces it "yavascript" :) I hope this is sufficiently on-topic...

This was a pretty good talk I watched recently. I had a debate with a colleague in that he thought the whole thing was mostly a joke. I thought it had a lot of truth to it. What was your take on it?

He seems sure that real programmers write in C; no mention of more modern languages. He wanted JavaScript to be a general purpose non-OO language, not one focused on animating web pages. Perhaps he's right that web pages will fade away and be replaced by downloaded software. Just think of the unsecurity possibilities. John

I’m afraid you missed his (approving) reference to Clojure. /Lew --- Lew Perin / perin@acm.org http://babelcarp.org
