And on top of that we have Coffee Script, LESS, SASS, Jade and God knows what to try to compensate for the amount of legacy, instead of just rebuild proper framework from the start, right and for all. But it's not just a case of rebuilding a proper framework, the "internet" is just too big to scrap everything that is already there... we'd end up with this real mixture of technologies floating around, browsers become more bloated to support both set of technologies, we end up with those "Best Viewed in..." gif's all over the place again AND we would never be able to fully move onto that tech set for a long long time... how long before HTML5/CSS3 become the defacto standard for every new project you work on? I'm currently working on a site which needs to work with Javascript off AND support IE6 (both of which just sucks balls). I am a bit biased. I love working with JavaScript (I am a C# developer btw) and I have loved seeing it evolve, how much it can do, how well it can do it and how GOOD javascript code makes it very easy and straight forward to work with... on the flip side of that I have seen far too many rubbish scripts from non-programmers!
