Hi Michael,
Are classes even a thing in your Java Script?
If the exist can they be used in "end user scripts"?
JOOC is MoI written entirely in Java Script or is the some C++ code at the heart of it?
Thanks.

Hi Frederick,
re:

They are, although the JavaScript engine that MOI uses is old and only supports the ES5 version of the JavaScript language.
In ES6 there is a new "class" keyword but it doesn't do a whole lot.

Yes, if you keep to the ES5 level.

There is a lot of C++ code at the core level, JavaScript is used for for controlling program flow, UI, and glue logic.

Hi Michael,
So in addition to being a GUI wizard, a Java Script connoisseur, you are a C++ master?
Amazing.
Once I discovered Delphi I said goodbye to C++ and never looked back. Any one that can deal with C++ deserves applause.
Is a "Java Script Engine" something that is compiled into your program or is it something else?
Thanks for the ongoing education.

It's a library written itself in C++ that implements the JavaScript language.

Hi Michael,
OK I think all is clear.
