    Talking Something terrible just happened

    I was writing some JavaScript, and I thought to myself "JavaScript is really cool".

    No! No no no no no!

    C is cool. Assembly is cool.

    JavaScript is horrid, but here I am, getting along with it. I think I've been doing this for too long...

    Re: Something terrible just happened

    IE makes anything web based REALLY annoying :]

    Don't do much javascript, but the little I do do, just looks like the C# I write most of the time :]

    Re: Something terrible just happened

    Oh yeah, it runs quick in Firefox and Opera, but in IE this stuff runs terrible... but at least it runs.

    Re: Something terrible just happened

    Javascript is never cool, it doesn't agree with me!

    C, I agree with a little bit, and Assembly I seemed to get on quite well with ('course, it wasn't X86 assembly - but I dont envisage writing Assembly apps to run on regular PC hardware!) - but we didn't do much with any of the 3, so I'm not much use with either really - I'm probably best at Assembly though!

    Oh dear... how awful.

    You should buy a panic button for your keyboard.

    I have one.
    It's very good.

    I would suggest doing what I did and making one instead though. Then you can make it do more than just sit there as a piece of plastic.

    Connect it up to a flashing red light+buzzer!!! MWHAHAHA!

    The world of flsahing lights shall win


    And scripting in any language will make you get along with it eventually... Even if it does take hours.

    Re: Something terrible just happened

    Javascript is cool.

    But I'm an interfacer, I'm supposed to say that.

    What's really cool, that I worked out a month or 2 ago, is making Javascript talk to Flash and back again. Can now do some really funky stuff I never thourhg was possible!

    Re: Something terrible just happened

    When I did JavaScript is was sorta cool... better than VBScript anyway

    I liked how you could get some great results really quickly with very little code. But I hated that debugging it was a PITA. This was when i used Homesite for editing and XML was a very new thing.

    Assembly on a 68HC11 was cool

    I've got the instruction set for a 68HCS12 in a box here somewhere. Coding for it in C is only marginally easier. Pop an RTOS on it and it gets even worse...

    Well, I used a 68HC12, but they have pretty similar instruction sets I beleive.

    Edit: I've just found the Reference Manual PDF we were given a link to when we started our Module with the Microcontroller, all 398 pages of it!

    When you are young you think you know it all and you think you can handle anything. Friends suggest you 'this' they tell you it's great. You try it you enjoy it, you see no I'll effects your happy your not hurting anyone, then your friend suggest you try something harder 'it's cool to do it' they tell you. It's not long before your not content with what your doing, and then you look for something else and so it goes on - you'll even start doing more than one at once creating some potentially lethal cocktail.

    I dabbled with Z80 when I was in my early teens, I move on to something harder quite quickly and i've been hooked since then. I won't bore you with the details but it been a struggle but I'm off the harder stuff now but I have to confess I continue to use at work on a daily bases.

    This is a family forum and I don't think anyone should glamorise this - as an ex 80x86'er the effects can be devastating don't do it - it's not big, it's not clever and it's definitely not cool.

    I wonder what the chances are that this thread is hosting at least one future nervous breakdown?

    Only on a technology (read 'geek' ) forum could any form of programming be described as cool.

    6502? Remember that PC advancing before the instruction is executed
