When I made that comparison, what I meant was not that it's backwards incompatible, but rather that (to me at least) it seems like lightyears away from it's predecessor.<br><br>Maybe the FORTRAN was an extreme comparison, but I still feel that it's very very different...bradykFri, 02 Nov 2007 01:40:52 -0000http://www.kyle-brady.com/2007/10/31/sweet-another-javascript/#comment-1705290Except EC4 is completely backwards compatible with EC3 (existing JavaScript). That is, a valid EC3 program is a valid EC4 program. So it's not like moving from Fortran to C++. It's list keeping all the Fortran you already have and want, but being able to also link some C++ into the final executable.BorisFri, 02 Nov 2007 01:35:34 -0000http://www.kyle-brady.com/2007/10/31/sweet-another-javascript/#comment-1705289A comment was just removed that said it's not based on either Java or C++. <br><br>If you actually read the .pdf doc from them, you will see that phrase used exactly.<br><br>--KylebradykThu, 01 Nov 2007 12:31:30 -0000
