When I first started with Javascript I used to think it was an awful excuse for a programming language, with its weird prototypal inheritance and functions pretending to be classes. The more I get to know it though, the more impressed I am by how all these features can be used and built upon to create an easy and flexible language. It has been taken in so many directions and I think Backbone is a prime example of how it can be built upon well. I love coding using the Backbone framework but I like that it's not the only option for doing things in an object oriented way.
