Today in a meeting... JavaSteve: Every variable is global in JavaScript
Billy: Thats not true, you can locally scope variables to functions using var
JavaSteve: No you can't. That's not what I've seen
Billy: JavaSteve, trust me, you can
JavaSteve: Sorry Billy, I'm positive you are wrong
Billy: ... ok, I didn't want to play this card, but everyone who has written a book on JavaScript, please raise their hand [Raises hand], ok then.
JavaSteve: oh now it's on!
Billy Go check Chapter 2 in the Rhino book and get back with me JavaSteve. [5 minutes later] JavaSteve: HA! You were wrong! ... ... It was Chapter 3, not Chapter 2! People called Steve JavaSteve to differentiate him from Steve Millar and because JavaSteve works on our JavaScript parsers and interpreters. I asked JavaSteve once why no one called him JavaScriptSteve. He looked at me like I was an idiot. |
