Sure this car get dust on the ventilation, and you can mess up if you use the 3rd gear and you can't really use the blinkers without being careful and the seat warmers are wtf. But in the end of the day, stick to this car long enough and it works for you. Plus the most popular road of the world only accept this car so take it or leave.

Not everybody can afford a Tesla or a BMW. For some of us, A Toyota Corolla or a Honda Accord is more than capable of getting the job done.

  It is so tempting to poke holes in this analogy but in general I like it!

  Hey, Toyota and Honda are good quality cars, did you mean chevrolet, ford or renault?

    Hey, I own a Fiesta SE and ST and they are great. Ford quality is way up.. Actually, maybe that's a perfect analogy for javascript :)

      That's because they're designed in Germany now.

    I've owned two generations of the Chevy Malibu. I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

I fail to get the flak that javascript faces ! Coming from java it was a breath of fresh air. This was the car that let me drive without a seatbelt when i wanted, let the doors be open if i wanted, stepping on the gas accelerated without fail and the brakes functioned fine, i could change the gearbox orientation, choose which side the steering wheel i wanted to be in general let me do what i wanted to without getting in my way. Sure it was not foolproof and i dont want it to be. I like JS just the way it is and I am grateful to it.

  >I fail to get the flak that javascript faces ! I personally don't like that Javascript has had to have a ton of work done on it to get it to the point of other languages that were better at their first release. It was just a ton of time spent on something that was weak to begin with. If Javascript were better at the beginning, and this same effort was spent on it, it probably would be ruling the world, front and back-end, and be a really good language with great tooling around it. There was a great amount of debate about nulls being a billion dollar mistake, but Javascript probably beats it in monetary damages by far.

    Something wasn’t done right, right off the bat, thats grounds for not liking it, sure. But to dismiss it as immature despite it overcoming most (not all) of those flaws seems unfair. I like it, some dont. I get it. All I ask is to not dismiss it. Folks new to programming find these edge cases as a reason to not learn it. That irks me.

      It has not overcome any of the flaws, we have just learned to work around them. They are still there and can bite you. Some of us value our time and would like to improve our discipline. In other fields it's called being professional. It's a shame we care so little about it.
