And we’ve got a big patch of your feedback, and much more!

The Argument
But wait! What is JavaScript anyway?
- Papa ECMA
- Isn’t JavaScript related to Java
- Classical vs Prototype inheritance
So how did things ever get so bad?
- Opinion: it has a lot to do with object oriented issue
- And of course browsers…. especially IE.
- Book recommendation: JavaScript The Good Parts
