It's more like a C-styled version of Self, without the Smalltalk/Self dependance on the GUI and snapshots. What of Perl has seeped into it has largely been the stuff that Perl borrowed from languages that sucked less in the first place. > I note that Javascript has regex literals... Case in point, this is borrowed from awk and sed (and one of the things that SHOULDN'T have been borrowed so directly). I hadn't really noticed this one before (I don't use Javascript as much as I would like to because there isn't a good standalone javascript that's generally available), so thank you for making Javascript hateful to me. At least they apply some restraint and don't try and emulate awk/sed precisely. > The OO models of JS and Perl are in fact amusingly similar. They're both template-based, anyway. I guess template-based instead of class-based languages are pretty rare, though.There's stuff above here
