So, I'm actually playing around with Javascript again; this time, I'm tinkering within the context of Firefox extensions. I must mention that I really like the extension architecture. It's rather slick. Javascript, however, is a pain in the ass now. I've done some thinking while kicking various scriptlets around, and I've come to the conclusion that a strict object model and case-sensitivity are just counterproductive to a softly-typed language. Why, when a language can mung together any basic types (with an outcome of undefined if such munging just doesn't make sense), does this same language throw its hands in the air and bitch about the lack of attributes when you get an empty object? Is this punishment for not gumming up my code with try/catch blocks? Good grief. |
