"ruby javascript".split(" ").map (
	function (ele) {
		return ele.toUpperCase();
	}
)

I know, that easily looks like some Ruby code. But it’s goddamn JavaScript.

Wait, there’s more. Some day, not so far away, I must guess, we could soon be doing something like this:

["I", "love", "objects"].forEach (
	function (element, index, array) {
		print element;
	}
)

Basically, the cool folks at Mozilla have extended the JavaScript specifications, specifically adding a buncha cool stuff to the Array object.

You sure do see where this has probably come from, don’t you? Now if only it’d behave like real Ruby blocks.
