Certainly that's the technically easiest solution here. Javascript is a pretty cool language. It has lots of ruby like features. One major hangup for me is actually just the syntax. Bloody commas, semi-colons and curly brackets everywhere. Normally I'm not the sort of person who gets hung up on this sort of thing, but I spend a substantial amount of time going back and putting commas in and so forth, and it really is costing me in terms of efficiency. Also, it doesn't help that in some cases, some browsers let you get away with missing bits of syntax, but other don't. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
