But now i think i see it kinda like function pointers in C, no? Hmm a lot easier too. haha. I believe I need to learn more advanced JS stuff. Maybe Rhino too but I've been trying to stay away from trying to learn every cool thing that comes around. lol. Pretty cool )

His jumping from platform to platform seems to be simply refining - picking the best dynamic, duck typed, readable, expressible language to date. :) Also, Yegge seems to be fairly consistent as to what he looks for in a language.

Funny thing is that the profoundly brilliant people that I considered mentors, or inspirational figures me tended to have the Emacs fixation. I don't know if there is a relationship here but... Well, I started using Emacs at some point because of that. I still use vi much more but both editors are great in their own way. :) You know, a lot of people who I consider to be really smart use vi.

I'm installing Rhino and I'll make time to tinker with it. I'm a Yegge follower as well (apart from his emacs fixation - Vi rule!), but he's always got some new thing he's pushing, and I never know if it is worth investigating myself.
