"like" and "is like"

# Peter Hall (18 years ago)

After searching through the wiki and ecmascript.org site, I still can't see any formal or informal explanation of how "like" and "is like" work, except in passing, and not with precision. Does this information exist somewhere?

Sure, like totally! See in doku.php? id=resources:resources&s=valleyscript (note search term on that URL):

Thanks. A bit more formal than was expecting, but I think it contains what I'm looking for.
