Ah ok -- they didn't specify in the talk, but they cited Lisp as an inspiration so I'm assuming the same model (pervasive dynamic scoping w/ nested scopes).
Dug into the paper, this is their argument for dynamic scoping. I appreciated the second point -- no need for captures, therefore no closures. "A procedure is simply its text."pic.twitter.com/8qcJUsd195
I'm on Team "Come out to the coast, put Scheme in the browser" => Team Lexical Scope. But I understand their point of view. Simplicity along different preferred axes, arguably best for programming-in-the-small/small-world/pedagogy-only. _Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto_.pic.twitter.com/wYvPKXsZJZ
One thing I didn't say in my talk: JS from "ten days" Mocha on through first year aimed at this small-world code network design point, which was a mistake. JS was not supposed to grow so large and be used in programming-in-the-large settings. Live and learn!
