Quote from Steve Yegge: ,---------------------------------------------------------------------- | I had big plans for Ejacs. I was going to make it a full-featured, | high-performance JavaScript interpreter, with all the Emacs internals | surfaced as JavaScript native host objects, so you could write Emacs | customizations using object-oriented programming. `---------------------------------------------------------------------- >From reading the cited blog, I would guess that this was more a personnal project from somebody who loves Emacs and Javascript and started a project that made him learn much more about both. -- cheers, Thorsten
