- throwaway894345 5y agoI fully believe that JS is better than VBScript, but it's also possible that many other factors contributed to JS's triumph over VBScript. In whichever case, this is pretty weak evidence for the claim "JS won its popularity relative to other languages by merit" (presumably you weren't intending it to be strong evidence).
- SquareWheel 5y agoI was only commenting on the claim that JavaScript was the "sole language available for the web platform".
