There is this notion among second rate programmers that the most important thing they do is express themselves. It’s not making programs that work well and are free of error. That’s way down on the list. What’s much more important is expressing themselves, that, I’m an artist and I express my arts by leaving out semicolons. It’s that kind of thing. So what I was saying did not resonate with that at all. So that audience was not happy to hear it, and JavaScript was just not being used.
