This is different though. Javascript is something that all of us are, in one way or another, exposed to. Giant companies building an ecommerce platform, startups making fun and innovative spas, designers adding a bit of animation and adaptivity to a theme, bare metsl devs bringing javascript to robotics and operating systems, severside crud applications and websocket handling, C++ devs that are interesting in bringing the best to such a widely used language, mobile phones frameworks and compilers, microsoft, google, apple, unity, mozilla. Javascript is the real deal. What makes it crazier is that 10 year olds can do a few tutorials on html5 rocks and feel confident in their abilities (in a good way). Javascript is not just a crappy language, there a socio-political aspect that has probably never been seen before

10 year olds can probably never been seen before I sometimes feel that everyone thinks that this stuff is totally unique. However, I remember copying Basic code out of magazines and BBSs as a kid. Copying and modifying that code was as empowering and amazing then as github/npm/etc is now. There is certainly a higher quantity due to the ubiquity of the Internet, but the basic quality is the same.

  I suppose this is my generations basic : / Visual basic was my first language actually. It was pretty fun, built some cool stuff with it. I guess the web more free since people a share with and I dont need windows computers. And I dont need visual studio to make an application. When I first started with website dev I used to write in notepad because I didnt have the money for dreamweaver and I felt like I was joining the elite. Then I learned about notepad++ anf it felt like a very natural progression
