Things I Never Did

Classical “web development”

Particularly, Javascript programming!

When I sow Javascript for the 1st time (in 1995) I vowed that I would never touch such an abomination, even with a 10 feet pole

Eventually, along this year, I changed my mind...

Javascript is a Hybrid Language

Functions (Lamba)

Lexical Scope

Loosely Typed

Dynamic Objects

Dynamic Dispatch

Prototypal Inheritance

Syntax

Some conventions

Name (Part)

Enjoy your Javascript
"WAT" moments!

(null !== undefined) && (null == undefined) ==> true

object = null;
if ( !object ) ... ==> /* if branch not taken */

[] + [] ==> ""

[] + {} ==> "[object Object]"

{} + [] ==> 0

{} + {} ==> NaN

To be fair, Javascript
has good parts...

Now That We Have Wishes...

What can we do to make them come true?

Again, look at Coffescript:
