Thievery! Oh nonsense.

I happened across an interesting little project today. A project to create a Javascript GUI framework by one Greg Houston who, by an amazing coincidence has decided to design it in a way that's similar to my own framework. And by another stunning ...

JavaScript's untyped function arguments, or: Try...Catch?

2007-03-09T05:20:43Z
