Pretty cool :)

The first time I read this i skimmed it and didn’t really get what you were saying. 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.

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

You know, a lot of people who I consider to be really smart use vi.

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. :)

Alright, that’s it. 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.

Well, you’ve convinced me!
