The most accessible runtime on the planet. To each their own. I loathe JS, but I also believe english is a crap language. English happens to be the only language I can effectively use to describe my ideas to others. :-)
- bmitc 5y ago> The most accessible runtime on the planet. In what sense?
- lkschubert8 5y agoIf you have a browser on a computer you have a js repl.
- bmitc 5y agoThat's what I had assumed but wanted to double check since "accessible" is ambiguous. However, it's not all that convincing of an argument. Several languages are installed as easy as a browser is. And loading a local file, such as code included with a book, in the developer console quickly goes beyond accessible.
- hajile 5y agoYou don't even have to install a browser on any popular OS you can name. JS REPL and dev tools are also far better than almost anything outside of Common Lisp.
