JS Knight

##The Programmer's Tales: Prologue ###The Knight

Thomas Shields

There was a geek, a most distinguished man

Who from the day on which he first began

to code JS had done so elegantly -

clean, short, fast, efficiently.

He had fought nobly in the Netscape wars,

And dived right into battle, no code more

than needed in those finicky places -

and ever honored for his tabs, not spaces.

When IE took down Netscape he was there,

agape at CRT, pulling his hair

In horror for shocked he was to see

that all the Web had fallen to IE.

Of prototypes and ES5 knew he;

Of pure JS and none of jQuery;

Of closure knew he and of variable scope,

Of the prototypical model he was pope.

At SO chats he often hapt to be,

He help-ed others to the nth degree.

And he'd fought for the DOM at W3C,

Three times there and thrice at ECMA too -

This same worthy coder had a lot to do

with ES3 (the good parts)

and oft was said that he

whispered Crockford in his sleep.
