# Appendix A - The Dull Programming Language: Extensions to Javascript
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The language is dubbed "dull". Dull, because it is a less featureful Javascript. Where does it differ?
|
|
|
|
- No promises, async, await, generators ...
|
|
- No import/export syntax; 'use' instead
|
|
- No proxies
|
|
|
|
We gave it this name to make very clear this is NOT the javascript of the web. This is its own thing, with its own ideas.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, it could be JIT'd, but another trait of dull is that it is easy to integrate C code into. That is preferred over doing stuff strictly in dull.
|
|
|
|
Dull has C-like syntax, because that makes it trivial to push code from it into a real C file. |
