What programming language do you consider worthy of the 'coding' title?

      Sorry, my comment was snarky and underdeveloped. What I meant was "coding" may refer to any number of languages, whereas "javascript coding" obviously refers to only one language.

  Unironically? C, C++,D, any lisp, erlang, ML family stuff are all good if your goal is to learn about computers and write software that well-utilizes actual hardware. If you don't particularly love computers and just want to get a job shoveling around webcruft, by all means learn javascript

    I love my job as a web developer/designer, and JS is my favorite language. Currently learning C++ and laravel (PHP framework). And I find it so silly when programmers hate on other languages, usually languages they do not want to take the time and effort to understand. > If you don't particularly love computers and just want to get a job shoveling Why would you assume everyone else in this world has your same tastes and preferences? All the time and energy spent writing stuff trying to put other peoples skills/interests/occupations down (FUD) may be spent doing something more productive.. like learning those languages.
