ECMA-262-3 in detail
by marco
While JavaScript community keeps growing up on daily basis, not every developer read or understood properly current specs, and this is why I do believe these Dmitry articles can help all of us to learn, repeat, and understand, what’s going on behind the scene.

Yahoo! 360° - Douglas Crockford's The Department of Style - HTML4.2
by greut
I think the HTML5 project is misguided in the same way that ES4 was. It is trying to do too much without a clear mission that defines the problems it is solving. I think the project needs a reset. I want to refocus it with the intention of producing the smallest possible standard, rather than the largest possible standard.
I would call the replacement project HTML4.2. It would be tempting to call it HTML4.1, but the current HTML standard is HTML 4.01, so the potential for confusion is too great.
Opinionated Doug is opinionated, and I think it's a good thing.

John Resig - ECMAScript Harmony
by night.kame & 2 others
Ouf, on a réussi à se débarasser des namespaces et des packages en Javascript : c'est Resig, Hixie, Tantek et Sivonen qui doivent être heureux.Some ECMAScript 4 proposals have been deemed unsound for the Web, and are off the table for good: packages, namespaces and early binding. This conclusion is key to Harmony.
