Javascript 2.0. For final release in Q2 2007 with gradual phase-in this fall. Will have Perl 6-ish translator to Javascript 1.5 (current version). Has good duck typing, structs (typed objects), struct catching from assignment and `for` iteration, and date literals. The most awesome concentrated in a new language version this side of forever. My friend, the venerable Java-programming Justin, who deems Javascript "a one-legged duck", proclaimed Javascript 2.0 "a one-legged duck with a jet pack", which is the sort of phrase that's both incredibly funny and absolutely accurate. · 2006.06.01 19:03
