Exactly. Less abstraction, means cleaner code. Cleaner code, means
faster the code. The browser has to do a lot of parsing and compiling
(v8 or *Monkey) or direct execution (lazy Microsoft JScript). So less
work for them, the faster the web.
As for the documentation, it only contains, what I think is called, a
Jmol scripting language which is fed through script() and those other
methods, who's documentation I can't find.
