You don’t achieve acceptance without a level of respect that comes from being useful. JS is really one of the most useful languages today. You can argue whether everything moving to web apps (and I may be using the term web apps wrong, but I’m speaking about anything that runs in a browser) is such a good idea, it’s probably not, but it’s whats happening because it’s really fucking awesome in terms of getting things to actually work across multiple devices. JS does something none of the other tech stacks does, in that it integrates really well with your current stack. I work in enterprise, we operate more than 500 different it systems, and most of them run on windows. So natural,y our operations ninjas are really great at Microsoft tech. Operating ruby, PHP, python and so on can certainly be done within the windows environment, but we’ve naturally been doing .net since it fits in better. JS fits into this infrastructure perfectly. A lot of it is thanks to MS, but we haven’t had to spend money on retraining staff to integrate modern JS into our stack. The language itself offers a lot of freedom, which includes risk, but I don’t personally think it’s worsening that regard than python.
