Very likely; although JavaScript became much more popular after it was available outside the browser, that probably was a factor. It doesn’t affect my argument

Very likely; although JavaScript became much more popular after it was available outside the browser, that probably was a factor.
It doesn’t affect my argument that it is a thriving ecosystem that has made it worth much more than the negative sentiment it has received in the past, and that it is not a bad choice.
- oilbagz 6y agoIts a bad choice because you have to use Javascript, and Javascript is a shitty technology akin to Visual Basic. Collective adoption of a technology doesn't make it 'good'. It makes it 'available'. Those things are not always equivalent.
- anonymoushn 6y agoWhile the ecosystem contributes value for many use cases, I don't think you can make use of such things when writing smart contracts that run on a very slow and very expensive computer.
