I wouldn't say it's trash. JavaScript has many ugly quirks, but it has many good facets too, and it can be be used to write effective and fairly elegant code. Considering how quickly it was thrown together, and that's it's been evolving since then, I'd say it's a surprisingly good language. > how can we make progress if things are not perceived as they are? People aren't blind to JavaScript's failings. The evolution of JavaScript has been a mix of adding new features and fixing what they got wrong before, e.g. the way it has two different isNaN functions.
