Augmenting ECMA-262 specs: crazy idea?

It has not been started . Perhaps other similar or better projects for
ECMAScript learning exist already (?).

I'd really like to see ECMA Books translated in Latin one day - that
would be a psychedelic reading stuff I would pay to have

Why latin? They are already translated to Russian by Soshnikov, which
you can read easily.

There are no "ECMA Books" or "Book(s) of ECMA". Please do not follow up on
that newest religious fantasy of the person calling themselves "VK" here.

Instead, there are several technical Specifications published by Ecma
International (formerly ECMA), the one (or two) relevant here being numbered
ECMA-262 (and titled "ECMAScript Language Specification" -- of which there
are three published Editions so far, the third being the most relevant
today) and ECMA-357 (titled "ECMAScript for XML").

Why not start with that?

Because they already admitted they "don't give a damn" what "ECMA" has to
say?

No, kangax, I write my author's articles about ECMA-262-3 features,
explaining this stuff to every interested in ES deeply.

But if meant translation of exactly ECMA-262-3 specification - we also
have the Russion translation - <http://javascript.ru/ecma> - that's
official translation coordinated and agreed with ECMA, but it was
translated not by me (though, was review by me also).

Sorry, poor wording on my side. That's not what I meant of course

Your articles are a great insight into specs, and should be very helpful
to anyone having difficulties reading specs on their own.

If VK wants "translation" (and he obviously meant — explanation of
specs), he can take hold of your series for a better understanding
(until we translate them to English).

But if meant translation of exactly ECMA-262-3 specification - we also
have the Russion translation - <http://javascript.ru/ecma> - that's

Ah yes, I've seen it once, but haven't really looked into it throughly.
