Yes. We moved away from Fortran, Cobol, and Basic when something better came along. Eventually we'll move away from Javascript too. Maybe it will be a language

Yes. We moved away from Fortran, Cobol, and Basic when something better came along. Eventually we'll move away from Javascript too. Maybe it will be a language that spits Javascript, maybe it will be a language that runs on Chrome and Firefox. Right now I don't know what that language will be, but I'm sure it'll arrive one day
