JavaScript has much in common with Scheme. It is a dynamic language. It has a flexible datatype (arrays) that can easily simulate s-expressions. And most importantly, functions are lambdas.

Because of this deep similarity, all of the functions in The Little Schemer can be written in JavaScript. The syntaxes of these two languages are very different, so some transformation rules are needed.





(define foo (lambda (a b c) (body)))  |  var foo = function (a, b, c) { return body; };



(foo a b c)  |  foo(a, b, c);



(and p1 p2 ... pn)  |  (p1 && p2 ... && pn)



(quote (a b c))  |  ['a', ['b', ['c']]]



foo?  |  isFoo

JavaScript is also slow as fuck.

depends what you are using it for. javascript (in chrome and firefox) is hells of faster than it used to be a few years ago. the intense competition between browser vendors is really pushing javascript speeds tO tHe ExTrEmE!!!!

javascript's new byte arrays and web workers are also a welcome addition.

Protip:Javascript was designed to be Scheme with a Java style syntax.

I don't know if you're trolling (you probably are), but JavaScript is among the fastest dynamic languages you can use.

I wish Perl or Python would come even close. But they don't. Not even the same order of magnitude, really.

There's no intrinsic reason for this, it's just a matter of how good the implementation is.

Did you mean

function (too function({bad function(Javascript function({is(function("unreadable");)}, (function(function([function(as{('fuck')});]);));));}));

?

But after a while you stop seeing }); and only see the structure of the code!

Name: Anonymous 2011-09-10 21:44

function(too[function("function").function(){function(function);}] function({bad function(Javascript.function()

{function(function(){is(function("unreadable".function(););)}, (function(function(){([function(as{function(){(['fuck'])};});])};));)});})); // function
