  1. keynote on JS at #yuiconf, "function foo() (bar + baz)" won the lambda-syntax shootout (ƒ [florin] instead of function was 2nd, lambda 3rd)
  2. @delvis #TAE "last language" was about JS as "x86 of the web", targeted by compilers (Obj-J, GWT, etc.); only a bit more immortal than C :-P
  3. @Jangaroo #TAE Indeed I said "with" without leading dot before name in the body referring to property in the head object was a mistake
