google has brought new life to browser javascript coding. as for
javascript.net, it appears to get little support from ms. maybe if a managed
browser is every written, it might make a comeback.

Hello:

What do you think is the life of javascript for developing apps? Windows is
every time more closed and apps using javascript often do not work
correctly.

You cannot actually write apps in java

AFAIK there's no such thing as javascript.net. Don't mistake

Don't mistake it for JScript.NET.

Sorry for the message being sent partially.

I think this is just a question of time … Especially when XAML emerges.

You cannot actually write apps in javascript because it's just a general
language, you need to use some specifi

Hello (hola ;))

[quoted text, click to view]

well first you should define what you call "to develop app with javascript"
it's kind of a vast underdocumented subject imho

if you mean app as an "executable application"
you can use
- HTA + JScript
- WSH + JScript
- JScript.Net
- JSDB (www.jsdb.org)
etc.

if you mean app as a "web application"
you can use
- browsers HTML DOM + JavaScript (+XML etc... look for AJAX)
- JavaScript + XUL ( see http://books.mozdev.org/ )
- macromedia flash
etc.

most of the time you have/need a host being able to interpret/execute
ECMA-262 based scripts,
a browser, an application, a plugin, etc...
and imho ECMA-262 has been assimilated by so much hosts
and it is used by so mcuh developpers (more than C# and Java)
that it will never dissapear, even if people still consider it as a "kid
toy".

for the "apps using javascript often do not work correctly",
well blame it on the "programmer" not on the language itself,
which is imho as good (and even sometimes better) than
any other languages.
