摘要
JavaScript is often seen as a toy language. Yet, it offers a powerful mix of interesting language features based on functional programming, prototyping, and mutable objects. Web 2.0 apps use JavaScript extensively to realize sophisticated client-side functionality. Taken this into account, it isn't surprising that JavaScript made it to the top 10 in a survey on the most popular programming languages. JavaScript's capabilities are showcased by the Lively Kernel, which is an interactive platform and web development environment that runs in a browser window. It's implemented entirely in JavaScript, demonstrating that despite its weaknesses, JavaScript can be used as a general-purpose and systems programming language. © 2010 IEEE.
