Details for spidermonkey-bin (1.8.1.14-3.1) - amd64 - Testing/Lenny
standalone JavaScript/ECMAScript (ECMA-262) interpreter
SpiderMonkey is a standalone JavaScript/ECMAScript interpreter. It can either
take input from files or from a command line driven interface.
ECMAScript (ECMA-262) is a dynamic scripting language supporting prototype
based object construction. The basic syntax is intentionally similar to
both Java and C++ to reduce the number of new concepts required to learn
the language. Language constructs, such as if statements, for and while
loops, and switch and try ... catch blocks function the same as these
languages (or nearly so).
JavaScript is a superset of the ECMA-262 Edition 3 (ECMAScript) standard
first introduced by Netscape and now led by the Mozilla project.
