There will probably always be a snarky, jejune dismissal in every JavaScript thread, but commenters should think to themselves, “It doesn't have to be me.”

- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoI had that thought, but I don’t think it’s that unreasonable to hold JavaScript as a lost cause. Enough large projects are just using JavaScript as a sort of bytecode for the web anyway. I also find personally that recognising something as bad is the first step to making something better.
- sctb 8y agoThat's fine, but we're here to gratify our intellectual curiosity. There's nothing wrong with recognizing as such, it just needs to be done thoughtfully and informatively so we can have a discussion about it.
- Dylan16807 8y agoRecognizing something doesn't imply bringing it up constantly.
- jenscow 8y agoYes, I was being snarky - however, it is a valid concern. There needs to be a choice. (I write javascript almost every day)
