Blog from Stefan Tilkov. Recently I saw a lot of articles talk about the power of JavaScript, I don't know that the recent series of JavaScript-based network applications provides a powerful user interface. For example, Google's new service, Canyonbridge's CBConnect, and salesforce.com, which have great impact. Simon Wison refers to the application of JavaScript EVAL () and with with a lot of dazzling features. In fact, you have to add one: Function is completely "first-class citizens" in JavaScript, and Closure can also be applied in JavaScript. The so-called first citizen is said (from SICP):
