Just to be clear, this is what he actually says in that video: > And it's still maybe for its field of application the best language in the world for doing that kind of stuff but that's not good enough. We should be moving on to the next generation of languages. It used to be that we'd get new computer languages about every generation. That started with Fortran and then C and C++ and Java and JavaScript and so on and then it kind of stopped. There are still people developing languages but nobody cares. One person can make a programming language, a really good one, but you can't get adoption for it. This isn't Crockford becoming converted to the anti-JS crowd and hopping back to C, it's Crockford arguing that JavaScript shouldn't be the final iteration of programming languages. Presumably he believes that about C as well. It looks like he's working on writing a new language, Misty, intended to (maybe) replace JavaScript: https://www.crockford.com/misty/ https://www.crockford.com/misty/
