Nice to see Javascript being used in the movie.

The Javascript thing is pretty cool, I missed that!

It’s amazing they managed to avoid mentioning JavaScript even once.

They're using Javascript, first released in 1994.

Besides the heap of javascript, very cool.

It both greatly amuses and somewhat surprises me that there is even a Javascript demoscene...

great post, I remember last year I interviewed with Flixster and they joked with me that who programs in JavaScript anymore, we all just use jQuery and don't need to write raw JavaScript.

Javascript did this.

calcnerd256 | karma 337 | avg karma 1.36 · | 2009-08-17 17:30:04+00:00

They had to do that with Javascript, too.

ohyes | karma 4127 | avg karma 4.38 · | 2016-06-09 18:07:52

Reminds me of their approach to javascript.

klooney | karma 853 | avg karma 1.97 · | 2023-06-15 08:20:33

This is exciting. Feels a little like JavaScript 10 years ago.

jacquesm | karma 227883 | avg karma 3.76 · | 2020-09-10 10:35:55+00:00

Clever of them to communicate in Java Script.

JavaScript has been about since 1995, and certainly by no later than the early 2000s was used for these animations.

phpnode | karma 6632 | avg karma 4.82 · | 2024-05-15 18:26:01

It was about JavaScript!

NDizzle | karma 2103 | avg karma 2.24 · | 2022-07-05 10:46:37

Obviously he's been working with javascript recently.

azinman2 | karma 14541 | avg karma 2.7 · | 2023-01-07 15:25:39

Is it some new JavaScript framework or whatever? No. But it was technologically adjacent and I found it entertaining. YMMV.

javiercr | karma 756 | avg karma 6.87 · | 2022-10-25 15:49:34

JavaScript is basically a Game of Thrones spin off by now.

SandB0x | karma 11954 | avg karma 12.77 · | 2014-04-04 07:13:14

Presumably that part was written in JavaScript.

I remember when the most popular use of javascript was putting scrolling text marquees in browser status bars. For years, javascript was largely dismissed as a gimmicky toy. It's kind of amazing how much further we've been able to take it.

wensing | karma 3217 | avg karma 3.38 · | 2010-02-04 08:16:03

Somehow he needs to enable ActionScript to cross the same bridge that JavaScript did. Remember when JavaScript was primarily the tool of script kiddies run amok?
