Disappointing post from someone who really should know better - he confuses JavaScript with the DOM and other things in several places (i mean really... is he suggesting that JavaScript should have some native capability to "include standard headers and footers on a web page"?). Maybe a better title would be "Bruce Eckel on the W3C / DOM", as that seems to be the primary target of his negativity.
Every language has bad parts. If you're going to call something an abomination, you should at least take the time to understand what you are talking about first, lest your opinion be cast aside as another uninformed rant.

- sturadnidge 15y agoYeh that's kind of my point though... it's pretty much just a jumbled rant and somehow JavaScript wound up being the target for the headline.
