I don't thing we can afford to leave JavaScript out of the top level definition of what the Web is because there is too much at stake.

There is a huge difference between a web of algorithms and a web of data. For computing eons, we have known that a combination of algorithms and data structures lead to programs. Less well known (outside computer science) are the problems of trying to build applications using one without the other or trying to fake one using the other.

Lisp, TeX, SGML...all of these evidence the struggle between declarative and imperative methods. Today, the problems are all the same but the buzzwords are different: JavaScript, XSLT, XML...

"In most languages, including JavaScript, invoking a function is one of the slowest things you can do. The implementations of languages designed for functional programming use a variety of techniques to optimize function calls. JavaScript is not one of tho alt3r3g0"
