And Resig is more like Javascript's Pee Wee Herman. ;) I meant to do that. :)

I don't think Crockford was or is as involved with YUI! as you think. From what I understand his role was as a resource to the YUI! team. Crockford's legacy is that he used good taste to choose good ideas from how Scheme is used (lexical closures for message passing OOP and s-expressions for data transport in the form of JSON), ideas discussed on comp.lang.javascript, some of his own ideas about how to fit those ideas together, and spread those ideas. He is a teacher and as a teacher he has improved the overall quality of JavaScript programming on the web. And he killed ES4 which seems to have been the right choice.

That's as maybe. What has he done in terms of browser scripting? > From what I understand his role was as a resource to the YUI! team. Well, he let them go wildly astray, at least in terms of browser scripting. The code may pass JSLint, but that's gloss on a rat. > > Crockford's legacy is that he used good taste to choose good ideas > from how Scheme is used (lexical closures for message passing OOP and > s-expressions for data transport in the form of JSON), ideas discussed > on comp.lang.javascript, some of his own ideas about how to fit those > ideas together, and spread those ideas. Yes, kudos. :) > He is a teacher and as a > teacher he has improved the overall quality of JavaScript programming > on the web. I see no evidence of that. Show me scripts in use on the Web that are worthwhile. I can never find _any_, other than the _occasional_ example code. > > And he killed ES4 which seems to have been the right choice. Yes. Glad for that. |
