F3: a whole new take on scripting
If you like scripting, you should take a look at
Chris Oliver's weblog. He
mostly discusses a scripting language that he's been working on
called
F3. It's
mind-bendingly cool. It's a client-side scripting engine, rather
than one of the usual server-side languages. It's designed for
doing very graphically cool applications. He's got lots of demos in
is blog, mostly directly runnable. In particular, you really must
run through his
interactive
tutorial. The most mind-bendingly cool feature (and a little
tricky to understand) is F3's dependency-based evaluation. Magic.
Have some fun with it.
