3. Douglas Crockford starts by looking at the fundamentals: names, numbers,
booleans, characters, and bottom values. JavaScript’s number type is shown
to be faulty and limiting, but then Crockford shows how to repair those
problems. He then moves on to data structures and functions, exploring the
underlying mechanisms and then uses higher order functions to achieve class-
free object oriented programming. The book also looks at eventual
programming, testing, and purity, all the while looking at the requirements of
The Next Language. Most of our languages are deeply rooted in the paradigm
that produced FORTRAN. Crockford attacks those roots, liberating us to
consider the next paradigm.He also presents a strawman language and
develops a complete transpiler to implement it. The book is deep, dense, full of
code, and has moments when it is intentionally funny.
