Now if you'd written a proper type safe script language that leads to JS burning in the 8 pits of hell [they added an extra one just for JS] then you'd be in bragging territory, but perpetuating the life of that abomination? May Nuggin strike you down!
Anyway, you seem happy. Deranged but happy. Have a ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) . Have two.

Dante's Inferno had nine levels!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

So Dante's Inferno is a nine-ring circus?

That was Dante, both the Kabbalah and the Quran mentions seven compartments or levels of hell, can't remember anything about pits though.

That's a fantastic achievement. Well done. I was going to ask why you didn't call it linq.js, but this[^] answers why.

Thanks! I actually mention linq.js in my article
Anyway, I'm thinking "JavaScript argh!" isn't such a rare Google search term

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Try again...
Elvish is much more elegant than the Black Speech of Mordor.
I was referring to the text on the ring:
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.
Meaning:
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
Get your nerd act together man...

Sorry man, I was first introduced to Tolkien through the movies, then read the books.
I'm a hardcore Trek nerd, but Tolkien nerds scare me.

Me too, and I haven't even read all of the books
I've never been much of a Star Trek fan, love Star Wars though.
Well, as Dumbledore[^] (from Narnia) said, "much to learn you still have, young padawan", applies to both of us I guess

I just had this thought about how I went about starting programming. I was 12 or 13, roughly half my current age when I picked up a good old read: learn VB6 in 21 days. Didn't finish it and messed around a bit.
But it didn't really teach programming, the thinking needed only just a small guide on how to use a tool. A few years later I started reading books about c++. A lot of theory but again not much in the way on how to think about programming but I did create a few programs but not much that helped really. Another year or so not really getting anywhere before I started at University.
This helped me immensely but its just after University I really gotten to learn. Working on real world programs and applications. University did give a few good experiences but mostly a framework about subjects which I've later started researching as needed.
Two years after university and I finally started on work related to my studies and now a few years after I realise that those were fairly in efficient years. A lot because I didn't take it too seriously and lack of motivation but also because I'm not one to study things inside out just because of a course.
It's mostly because of real world problems and then articles here on code project I found the motivation to really get in to learning and becoming better.
My point? A big thanks to CP and all writers and members and a better understanding of how to motivate myself.

It is good you find your motivation at CP, however self motivation is very important in the constantly evolving world of software development... You should work on that 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I find the constantly evolving world of software development more demotivating than ever. At the moment they are busy reinventing that kind of junk we got rid of 30 years ago. That gives me about 30 years time for a little break while those fools are condemned to repeat past mistakes.

Growing up in Canada, there are two post-secondary education systems: community college or university.
In the words of a university professor, "If you go to college, you are nothing but a pair of hands". You won't be the manager, you'll be the worker.
Well, I chose community college where I learned real life programming; we worked on applications for businesses in town.
My friends that went to university graduated with a degree, but were lacking on actual programming skills. They understand theory, but not application.
So... more than 30 years after graduating, I truly enjoy my job - and being a pair of hands.

Now I really feel old. 
One of these[^], with a subscription to this[^], was how I got started.
VB6 came out shortly after I'd finished University and started work.
