I'm not planning to do it, I have done it (with a litte help from ExtJS)

Of course, if you're planning to build a javascript framework yourself,
you're best choice is to go with plain Javascript.


I was talking about creating an end-user application.

You forgot to mention Open Source projects like jQuery and ExtJS,
with quite a number of millions of users - they are coded in -
OOjavascript.

No DOM has nothing to do with javascript as well as DB2 has
nothing to do with RPG - but both are manipulated by the
programming.

Nobody sane these days programs UI code directly in Javascript.There are

powerful tools such as GWT (develop in Java, deploy in Javascript), or
even EGL CE to do this.

Btw, apart from the DOM (which has nothing to do with Javascript the
language) Javascript is a very neat OO language.For RPG'ers who want to
delve into scripting/browser UI and OO programming it's a good idea to
learn and use Javascript.It's not a difficult language and a fast
turn-around, meaning you get instant reward.It's pure OO, and even has
some "functional" aspects.Just make a simple HTML page, put some
Javascript in it and you can do all kinds of neat things.It's ideal for
trial-and-error learning.

Simply to reduce learningcurves. If you agree that the future
is browserbased, the one and only programming language is
javascript (in the browser), so why not share the same syntax
on core statements on the server ?

Yes, there will be differences, browsers has DOM and AJAX,
servers has CHAIN and SQL, but a for or an if statement or
a function call could easely be the same.

A fix format RPG programmer that moves to FREE will probably
also end up coding something in a browser - why learn two new
core language syntaxes if you could spare one of them ?

RPG
Why?? If it's already such a good "business language" why throw in
other

syntax??

If RPG is taken to 100% free form then I would totally agree with
taking all the best syntax from other languages and putting them
into
RPG. But trying to tailor it after a specific language wouldn't be
as
beneficial in the end because you would be taking the baggage of
that
language's syntax with it. For example, we shouldn't really need a
semi-colon at the end of statements.

At the end of the day, any major changes to RPG to make it more
modern
should be critiqued heavily because many times things are added to
languages as flavors of the year and end up being baggage in the
long
run.
