Inheritance Patterns in JavaScript - 2 views

  •  
    This article discusses the advantages of the pseudoclassical pattern over the functional pattern. I argue that the pattern used by the Closure Library paired with the Closure Compiler removes existing hazards while I also examine the hazards introduced by the functional pattern (as defined in The Good Parts). First let me demonstrate what I mean by the functional pattern.

  • OMeta is a new object-oriented language for pattern matching. It is based on a variant of Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs) which we have extended to handle arbitrary data types. OMeta's general-purpose pattern matching facilities provide a natural and convenient way for programmers to implement tokenizers, parsers, visitors, and tree transformers, all of which can be extended in interesting ways using familiar object-oriented mechanisms.

REJAX - Coolest Regular Expression Tester. Ever. - 0 views

  •  
    As the first online Regular Expression tester to offer realtime highlighting and offering more languages than any other online tester, ReJAx continues to be the coolest and easiest to use Regular Expression tester on the web. Supported languages:
        * JavaScript
        * PHP 5 PCRE
        * PHP 5 POSIX
        * Ruby - BETA!!
        * PERL 5
        * UNIX Shell Pattern
    It is not necessary to enter the beginning and ending slashes in the pattern field. Not all modifiers will be compatible with every language. Backreferences (when available) are usually in the form of \n where n is the reference number

JavaScript: The World's Most Misunderstood Programming Language - 1 views

  • JavaScript: The World's Most Misunderstood Programming Language
  • This is misleading because JavaScript has more in common with functional languages like Lisp or Scheme than with C or Java.
  • It has arrays instead of lists and objects instead of property lists. Functions are first class. It has closures. You get lambdas without having to balance all those parens.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Some argue that JavaScript is not truly object oriented because it does not provide information hiding. That is, objects cannot have private variables and private methods: All members are public. But it turns out that JavaScript objects can have private variables and private methods. (Click here now to find out how.) Of course, few understand this because JavaScript is the world's most misunderstood programming language. Some argue that JavaScript is not truly object oriented because it does not provide inheritance. But it turns out that JavaScript supports not only classical inheritance, but other code reuse patterns as well.
