Don’t get me wrong, I actually love Javascript. I have written code in quite a few languages but JS is the one I am most productive and happy in by far (within the area of network services and web apps that I work in). It has also been very profitable. :) But the language has such a low threshold that it allows for incredible productivity while writing shitty code. But by the time you realise just what you have done (or someone else realised when they have to work on your codebase) its too late and it’s time for a rewrite. What makes JS special is how accessible it is and just how much mess you can make before reality bites. That said, I will take a Javascript mud-ball over an enterprise Java one any time! ;)
