- nknight 15y agoBrendan Eich would seem to disagree[1], as would, well, everyone else I've ever heard talk about JS, so I'm not sure from whence you draw that rather remarkable assertion. It may or may not meet your particular needs, but that has very little relationship to its perfection.

- rictic 15y agoJavascript is beautiful and far simpler than most languages it resembles on the surface, but it is far from perfect. Fortunately there are many serious efforts at improving the language almost all of which compile down to today's javascript for backwards compatibility.
