/prog/ - MS's replacement for JS

Well it looks like Anders took the sensible approach, dont replace JS with an entirely new language like Google is trying to do with Dart because it will never win. But rather translate a statically typed class based language into existing JS compilers. JS is a great language to port languages to, as far as I know it is probably the most popular language for doing this. So it will be interesting to see how the optional type system holds up to large scale apps.

statically typed
Stopped reading right there. Disgusting.

How to make JS worse:
Make it statically typed and locked down by a shitty OS company.

Leave it to MS to always manage to do this.

but its not locked down, thats why MS is going to get it right and Dart is dead on arrival. Its like Coffeescript, it gets translated to run on regular JS compilers

All they had to do was use scheme instead, but no, they went off and made shitty ass JS.

Now they are going to make an even worse creation which is statically typed

so i take it the popular js libraries/codebases:
a. will not work at all
b. will work, but are stuck with optional types, so they get no static typing benefits anyway (nobody's going to want to port their shit to this)

sounds like a home run to me!

At least they're making it statically typed. Maybe they'll throw in type inference so it still feels like a dynamic language.

On the other hand the main popularizer of Pascal, Philippe Kahn, looks purely Jewish. So we have:
Alan Kay - JEW
Lev Vygotsky - JEW
Seymour Papert - JEW
Jean Piaget - JEW or HALF-JEW
Jerome Bruner - JEW
Noam Chomsky - JEW
John McCarthy - JEW
Karl Popper - JEW
Marvin Minsky - JEW
Terry Winograd - JEW
Gerald Sussman - JEW
Philippe Kahn (inventor of Delphi and Turbo Pascal) - JEW
Andrei Alexandrescu (inventor of D) - JEW
Guid van Rossum (inventor of Python) - HALF-JEW
Brendan Eich (inventor of JavaScript) - JEW
Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski (inventors of PHP) - JEWS

Ashkenazi Jews are smart. Shockingly brilliant, in general. Impressively greater in brain power than the bulk of the human population. People who can’t comprehend the easily understood data verifying high Ashkenazi IQ may not simply be anti-semitic; they must also be crippled in the math/logic zone of their inferior parietal cortex, with subsequent IQ in the ~85 range.

Yay! And Spolsky is a polish name. Kahn is a Germanized form of the Jewish surname Cohen, another variant of which is Cahn.

Also, Joel Spolsky - JEW

Spolsky (С Польши) even translates as "From Poland" (S = From, Polsky = of Poland)

Im pretty sure John McCarthy is not jewish. He has an irish name, he looks irish. His parents were driven to California to work picking fruit due to the depression/dust bowl of the 30s. Despite having hardly any education, he went to a library, read some math books at around 14 or 15 and was immediately admitted into CalTech as a math genius.

Who said you this politician isn't Jewish.

McCarthy's hair also curly. That points to African ancestry.

a big or pug nose
McCarthy doesn't have pug noise. His nose is Jewish. Look at Asians or Slavs for an example of "pug nose"

Even the fucking Sarah Brightman looks less Jewish than McCarthy, despite having vividly Jewish name:

The only reason I can think of to bolt on static typing would be to hint the JIT compiler.

As I understand it Microsoft's ``open'' TypeScript implementation is just a preprocessor for JS. I wouldn't be surprised to see Microsoft introduce a native implementation if the language sees decent adoption. The native runtime would be closed, of course.
