lol

@MaSOuD due to new job and the such I dont (m)IRC much anymore.

It's ok. Stick to the job ;)

Hey have you seen Dart? It compiles to Javascript and mimics OOP very very well.

The problem I see with such tools like dart and coffee script is the person isn't actually coding javascript anymore. They change the language entirely to a pseudo language.... For example there's QUITE a few people that "know jQuery but not javascript".

Yeah, the difference is jQuery is not a language, it does not do everything. Dart can also be stand alone and even make console applications (I assume the same with Coffeescript but I havent used it), its an entirely new language that just happens to compile to javascript. I wasn't really suggesting it as an alternate to javascript, everyone should learn js if they are doing something based on a website simply because Dart is inefficient if it is a small script. But yeah when you get to making anything OOP in javascript I find it just turns into a total clusterf*ck since it isnt really designed the same way as Java or C# (But in my opinion they are the best implementation of OOP).

I was just using jQuery as an example. Javascript is OOP, it's just not class orientated like php, c, etc. and for webapps, asking for a class orientated language is a bit overreaching in my opinion.

@SReject It depends on what you're building ;)
