The Case for ES4
November 29th, 2007Brendan has written up an extensive, detailed post making his case for the need for ES4. It’s a good read. I think he makes a strong case.
I fear that it may be too nuanced to be consumed and condensed into “sound bytes” appropriate for the political firestorm that is underway. This is not “light” reading.
In other words, it takes time for the gestalt of ES4 to sink in. If you read the post and find it not to your liking, put it away and come back later. Write some JS code, think about the difficulties you’re facing. Perhaps some “aha!” moments will ensue. For me, the essence of ES4 didn’t kick in for a long time — several months. Your mileage may vary.
