Question

Why was “The Good Parts” designed as a language subset in JavaScript?

(a) To improve programmer flexibility

(b) To balance the workload of the programmer

(c) To create an in-built compiler and interpreter

(d) To improve programmer productivity

Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) To improve programmer productivity

To explain I would say: The Good Parts is a language subset designed for aesthetic reasons and with a desire to improve programmer productivity. There is a larger class of subsets that have been designed for the purpose of safely running untrusted JavaScript in a secure container or “sandbox”.
