I'm not sure why people latch to the javascript thing.
Javascript is to Solidity what C is to Java. It is similar on the very surface level, but other than some syntax similarity, it's very different.
There is plenty wrong with Javascript and there is way more wrong with Solidity. But the languages are not very similar
- davidgrenier 9y agoI'm not sure the analogy holds. C is a very specific programming language you can characterise as a byte-array manipulation language. That's a very specific building block for making software if that building block is what you need, hence its merit. Java "on the very surface level" has absolutely nothing that relates to C, modulo some syntax if you think that has a lot of weight.
