No _CORE_ JS is a very lean and extendible language (not by macros but
by prototype OO) which is embedded in many products not just browsers.
Maybe the most embedded language today ...
(PDF-reader, Flash-player,...)
DOM and BOM (Browser OM) are just a local native library, the EOM
(Emacs Object Model) would be represented in emacs by the core
functions and variables, e.g. for manipulating buffers or faces.
Many of these EOM features are already realized in C and not eLISP
(like they are in Browsers)
