<TID> Re: Javascript question: Looks easy

[Joel Hammer]

Well, I have done enuf of javascript this week to make my eyeballs hurt.
However, there is just so much in javascript that I don't think I'll ever
stop being a newbie.

I just don't feel warm and fuzzy with these high level languages. This is a long way from
assembly language on a Z80!
