Maybe we could even put something like that into Gtk+. After all, Qt ships with a javascript interpreter these days...

I posted about it here: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/?p=616 The short of it is that a lot of the features that were going to be in ECMAScript 3.1 (the next minor version of what we call JavaScript in Mozilla) and ECMAScript 4 (a major revision) were rolled up into something very reasonable. The post is worth reading and the podcast is worth listening to - especially if you're a language geek. :) If you're interested in scoping and you're only targeting newer browsers you might want to check out the "let" keyword which is essentially the same as the "var" keyword but with block scope instead of function scope. http://developer.mozilla.org/en/New_in_JavaScript_1.7#Block_scope_with_let Some of the work that went into ECMAScript 4 has been rolled into something called “JavaScript Harmony.”
