    Re: Concern over proposed EMACScript

    While I don't normally respond to this sort of political (or other)
    spam, I've got to say that the typo in the subject leads to all sort
    of fascinating possibilities.. . just imagine Emacs Lisp as the
    standard web scripting language...

      IIRC the original intent of netscape was to create some kind of
      "scheme for the web". Shame they didn't go with some scheme/OO hybrid,
      really.

                  That should be <nutellaand you don't need any closing tag, for that,
                  ever.

                      Checking.... turns out I meant <litella>. You're probably right about
                      the closing tag, especially in my case.

                          Good article. But I meant, I would have preferred something that
                          actually looked and acted like scheme. And macros would have been
                          nice, too.

                          Some of the parts in the ES standard that look ugly and strange are
                          actually directly imported from scheme, where they make a lot more
                          sense. Like function scoping (including scheme's (let) macro).
