You probably know the reason.
Javascript is the one thing that allows you to control the behavior of the browser, and the browser is the thing that makes you the money.
- j-pb 5y agoSamantically javascript is a mixture between self and scheme though, with a Java like syntax on top. Despite all it's warts caused by bad APIs and awkward standard library. The fundamental language is (semantically) quite nice. It really put a focus on data and data-literals, and having abstract arrays and associative array literals at the very core of the language has had a huge impact on programming languages in general. (more so than s-expressions had)
- MathMonkeyMan 5y agoWell put. As an admitted Crockford fanboy, I reach for Javascript in a number of non-web situations. When I don't use Racket :) Also, thank God for node and deno.
