[Javascript] VisualBasic.net

[peter at brunone.com (Peter Brunone)]

Carl,

	If they did that, they'd have to require the .NET framework on every
computer.  Now, I'm sure that's a goal of theirs (especially with Longhorn
et al on the horizon), but it doesn't make any sense -- to me, anyway --
that they would drop JScript (their own version of Javascript) when it's so
integrally involved in so many areas.  Besides, it's a scripting language,
whereas VB.NET is a compiled language.  It's like saying they'd drop Notepad
in favor of Office... the two just don't compare.
	Basically, I wouldn't bother worrying about the future of Javascript
anytime soon.

Cheers,

Peter
