> JavaScript is great I've never heard somebody say that. Can you elaborate?

  It's powerful, flexible, supports classical and functional paradigms and can handle input validation and transformation better than most languages with less code. It's the only reasonable cross platform client/server language which is well supported.

    I can say this for (nearly) any dynamic language like python or ruby. Your second statement is plain wrong however. Take clojure for example which compiles to java bytecode and javascript (cljs) seamlessly. You seem to be a victim of the Blub paradox.
