LOL I wrote that about myself :-) As in, the ECMAScript implementation
was mostly mine, and its faults were mine, and I documented that and
moved on. It would be nice to fix some day but it takes time; in the

that language made you feel intimidated, the intention was precisely the
opposite.
Happy hacking! :-)
