> It is not Javascript per se, but the so-called "modern" browser that creates problems for so many users. I think that it's both-and, not either-or. JavaScript itself is a terrible, horrible, no-good language; the modern browser environment is also a terrible, horrible, no-good invasion of privacy and destruction of security. I do not believe that there is any purpose for which JavaScript is a suitable language (absent considerations of popularity, e.g. as on the web browser), although I could be wrong and am open to counterexamples.
