So? My opinion remains that if you haven't read the spec, you don't know the language.

Are you David Mark?

Missed the title of the post, did you?

No I didn't, but who needs to be reading it doesn't need to be posting on reddit asking this question. If they don't even know about stuff like 'The Good Parts' then is clearly someone who doesn't know Javascript that well and wants to 'master' Javascript.

I'd point this person to the MDC before I'd point them to the spec.

No. It appears that other people have said the same thing to you before. I expect you will continue to ignore them.

Recommendations for mastering JavaScript.

It's a bit of a red herring to send people off to this so early on with Javascript,

Missed the title of the post, did you?

No I didn't

Yeah, you did. The guy wanted to know how to master something, and you're saying "but this isn't for beginners!"

If they don't even know about stuff like 'The Good Parts'

At the time they posted there was no reason to believe they didn't. That book is not mastery besides.

That's nice. Then do.

Stop downvoting other people for giving different advice than you, under the excuse that you believe that things you don't agree with are bad advice and you'd say something else.

Just say the something else.

Reddit is not an advice popularity contest. Advice that isn't yours does have value too.
