Achtung, minen!

One more “cool” thing about JS: 

somevar = 100;

      function test()
      {
        somevar = 1;
        return somevar;
        if(false) { var somevar; }
      }

      alert(test());
      alert(somevar);

Try to guess first what these two alert()s will output in JS.

You did?

Then try to see this code running alive: js-mine.

That is what Web2 is supposed to be based on… Huh?

[update] Here is a link on Doug’s Crockford talk at Google about JS.

Doug Crockford is behind JSON spec and ECMAScript 3.1.

Probably Doug’s speech may explain why I decided to go with TIScript rather than implementing JS as it is.
