was not the first non-Schemey language implemented by Guile, but it was
|
|
the first implemented for Guile’s bytecode compiler. The goal was to
|
|
support ECMAScript version 3.1, a relatively small language, but the
|
|
implementer was completely irresponsible and got distracted by other
|
|
things before finishing the standard library, and even some bits of the
|
|
syntax. So, ECMAScript does deserve a mention in the manual, but it
|
|
doesn’t deserve an endorsement until its implementation is completed,
|
|
perhaps by some more responsible hacker.

<p>In the meantime, the charitable user might investigate such invocations
|
|
as <code class="code">,L ecmascript</code> and <code class="code">cat test-suite/tests/ecmascript.test</code>.
