Merge with JavaScript
I think this should be best included in the main article. — Fatalis 13:33, 25 Mar 2005 (PST)
- This article should *not* be merged with JavaScript.
- It would have to be merged with Java too, resulting in two copies of the same info on two different pages, which is *bad*.
- Having this info as a separate page is extremely useful. I have lost count of the number of times I've had to tell newbies (here, on the Moz Forums, and in many other places) that Java != JavaScript. Having a separate page allows me to link to it from whatever forum/bb/newsgroup I'm working in. --Mozcerize 04:06, 29 Mar 2005 (PST)
