joshua grossnickle: rss – crossing into the mainstream (pdf).
close but no cigar.
ecmascript for xml (e4x) breaks the syntax check of a common javascript programmer (if not the general language specification at all).
foo..bar is invalid code. period.
foo.@bar is invalid code. period.
foo.( x == "bar" ) is invalid and ugly code. period.
and so it goes on introducing double colons and re-defining curly braces to finally be able to produce perl-code like x.n1::["not-an-identifier"].@id.
as far as i can see it, there would have been no disadvantage to use the "normal" way of implementing methods instead of eagerly inventing a fancy new syntax.
looks like a programmer high on java played havoc with an innocent scripting language. (maybe brendan eich needs the right javascript book, too?)
anyway, my thumbs are pointing down.
verisign acquires weblogs.com. no pings from here, anymore.
jason kottke cont'd: "Dave seems to trust Verisign to do the job; I think Verisign has shown itself to be an untrustworthy, terrible company." 100% agreed.
give-away! 1-2-3, gone!
i am about to get rid of regina's locker (alt. view) and thus give it away for free to the first person wanting it. there's only one requirement: the new owner has to care for transport, i won't lift a finger.
update: it's gone already.
