Crockford adds the 'create' method to Object. I find it very elegant and useful.

Most would agree as Douglas puts it, "... the prevailing opinion of JS was that it was an unsightly, incompetent toy." I will definitely be picking this book up with your suggestions. Less pain from Javascript equals greater productivity. Great job here Harkins, I too have always felt terribly about coding with Java.

I figured Y was just a little too esoteric to make the cut (as fun as it is) but copying actually felt like something was missing. And thanks for your wonderful writing on JavaScript, I've really appreciated the language and improved my code because of your work.

I might have to track this down because I have absolutely LOATHED JavaScript from the moment I started working with it. I still try everything in my power to avoid working with it! Especially having to tinker with some 3rd party's badly written piece of slop code! Maybe after reading this I'll be inspired to come up with some neat little gizmos for websites without going into convulsive fits first. ;) Hmm… I might have to track this down because I have absolutely LOATHED JavaScript from the moment I started working with it.
