| Nov 3, 2014 at 7:58 | comment | added | slebetman | @haitran: Unfortunately, in my opinion, no single place. It took me several years working with javascript to develop a feel for the language. It's a nice language once you get to know it. But due to its history not a fully documented language. Even the specs don't really document implementation details such as "is it compiled". Nor the existence of the two phases of execution: compilation and evaluation. Most of us old-school js programmers learned it by writing test programs and running them in different browsers. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 7:53 | comment | added | haitran | @slebetman So, where should I learn JS theory? | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 7:49 | comment | added | haitran | The next sentences from this book: "It is not compiled well in advance, as are many traditionally compiled languages, nor are the results of compilation portable among various distributed systems. But, nevertheless, the JavaScript engine performs many of the same steps, albeit in more sophisticated ways than we may commonly be aware, of any traditional language compiler.", after that, he explained the compiled-language process with some steps. | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 7:45 | comment | added | slebetman | The description of JIT is wrong. Javascript is and has always been compiled to bytecode since the first prototype implementation (LiveScript). JIT refers to compiling that bytecode to native machine code - same meaning as Java's use of the term JIT | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 7:42 | comment | added | Thilo | Do you have the next sentence from that book, where they actually explain this assertion about "compiled language"? | |

| Nov 3, 2014 at 7:34 | comment | added | haitran | Yes, I'm already quoted those definitions in my questions, but if you need, I will edit with the full version! | |
| Nov 3, 2014 at 7:29 | comment | added | Thilo | Can you paste these two definitions here? | |

| Nov 3, 2014 at 7:25 | comment | added | haitran | @Thilo, I have read this yet. But how about the book and the course's definition? | |
