And RMS Spake, and it Was Good
,----[ Quote ]
| And it's also a red-letter day when he does, as with his latest missive: "The
| Javascript Trap".
|
| [...]
|
| He comes up with some interesting solutions:
|
| we need to change free browsers to support freedom for users of pages
| with Javascript. First of all, browsers should be able to tell the user
| about nontrivial non-free Javascript programs, rather than running them.
| Perhaps NoScript could be adapted to do this.
|
| Browser users also need a convenient facility to specify Javascript code
| to use instead of the Javascript in a certain page.
|
| RMS: where would we be without him?

Speed test: Google Chrome beats Firefox, IE, Safari
,----[ Quote ]
| Google offers a site with five JavaScript benchmarks. On each one of these
| tests, Chrome clearly trounced the competition. I hope benchmarking experts
| and developers will weigh in with comments about how well these tests
| represent true JavaScript performance on the Web--either for ordinary sites
| or for rich Web apps.

Google Chrome is a warning shot over the bows of Internet Explorer, Firefox,
Safari, and Opera.

| The open source software project, to be detailed later Tuesday at Google's
| headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., should dispel any lingering thoughts
| that the browser wars are over. To be sure, it is less cutthroat now than in
| the 1990s, but one of technology's most powerful companies is now on the
| battlefield.

Study: Java still top programming language
,----[ Quote ]
| Java has its detractors, but according to a recent reading of the Tiobe
| Programming Community Index, it's still the dominant programming language,
| with little change in its overall popularity since August 2007. Runners up?
| C, (Visual) Basic, C++, and PHP.
