I see it more as a worrying symptom that software as an industry is full of people who complain about things they don't understand and don't want to learn about. the complaining about javascript is very HN culture specific. there are certainly places where people do complain about it, but only here is it indulged again and again and again ad nauseum. there certainly is room in the world for recognising the flaws in javascript or git and working to fix them, or building something better. but just whining about how bad it is achieves nothing and it is irritating to read.
