Javascript is fine. It has first-class functions, a minimal but functional metaobject protocol, lambdas, etc. It is also fast and has familiar syntax to work with. There are many worse programming languages out there. I admire the “everything that is popular is wrong” maxim (it is quite popular), but blaming JS as some sort of ultimate evil is somewhat unsubstantiated.
- jbverschoor 7y agoIt is exactly because it's so bad (forgiving) and availability (browser) it became popular. Just like many other tech.
- atemerev 7y agoBeing forgiving and being easy to learn are good things. The internets are littered with the graves of unforgiving and hard to learn languages.
- jbverschoor 7y agoYes. Unless you have odd, undefined or unexpected behavior.
