About PL SQL.js

Welcome to the PLSQL.js wiki! As in: April Fools!

“The first key advantage to PLSQL.js is that you don’t have to write those little squiggle thingies,” notes Steven Feuerstein, well-known author and trainer on Oracle PL/SQL, who designed the bulk of PLSQL.js. “We really didn’t see the point. Why not use regular English words and the kind of punctuation everyone already was used to, like underscores and dots? Why do we always have to change things?”

Oracle’s Chief Health Officer, Jean Frutesandveggies, adds that PLSQL.js is also an attempt to help young application developers deal with a growing epidemic of Javascript Fatigue.

“Writing code,” points out Frutesandveggies, “is very hard and stressful work. It doesn’t help to write in a language like Javascript, in which developers are expected to constantly change their frameworks, tools, and general outlook on life. The bottom line? When you have to React to Yeoman who Plop and Babel from an overly Angular point of view, well, you are bound to Relay into Motorcycle trouble. Sure, you can take aspirin for the ensuing headache, but we recommend instead that you simply switch once and for all to PLSQL.js.”

PLSQL.js will be released as open source under the MYOB (Mind Your Own Business) license on GritHub. Users will be allowed to pull but not push, and never commit, to ensure that the framework remains stable and free of squiggles.
