What is /prog/'s opinion on Javascript? I recently started using it and fell in love. It's so fun to type.

/PROG/'S OPINION ON ANY LANGUAGE: If it is not LISP, it is shit.

the more i read into javascript the more i am impressed

why is it literally the only language to use prototypes? they're a lot more fun than classes

yet you can't change the prototype of an object on the fly... making it frustratingly not dynamic.

Because it is not: Self, Io, Ioke, Lisaac, Falcon, many toy/non-toy Lisp object systems.

Self is a good language.
Io has prototypes, actors and all the homoiconicity goodness, making it buzzword-complete.

don't forget about la la lu lua! Although you'll typically have to implement the object system yourself, or by using someone else's. This creates the problem of integrating code written different object systems though, which can be an issue.

I don't know. I don't like using it very much, but at the same time I can't find any particular fault with it.

I wish someone would embed it as the scripting language for something cool, so I'd have to get more accustomed to it.
