Python is a better language, but at this point in time, if they can only pick one, JavaScript is a better business decision. Plus, as of ES5, JavaScript is actually quite usable. The JavaScript language itself is not bad (with some bizarre quirks), but the DOM APIs that it is usually bound to taint people's opinion of the language. > On the other hand, if MS were to "unsupport" IronPython then they could no > longer keep us from submitting patches, could they? No, they couldn't, assuming they stopped distributing it as well. However, until we know more about the fate of Microsoft's IronPython, it's all just speculation. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
