20 years ago, I was advocating for javascript. 0:03 My story was that javascript is a much better language than anybody knows. 0:10 And that if we use it properly, we can do amazing things about it and it can change the world and in fact that happened. 0:19 But now my evangel is that we should stop using javascript that it has so many congenital defects. 0:28 It really is a smelly language. 0:31 There's just a lot of crap in it and it still may be for its field of application, the best language in the world for doing that kind of stuff. 0:44 But that's not good enough. 0:45 We should be moving on to the next generation of languages. 0:48 It used to be that we'd get a new computer languages about every generation I started with FORTRAN and then C and C and java and javascript and so on. 1:01 And then it kind of stopped. 1:03 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. 1:12 There are lots of terrible mistakes in the way that the web works in the way our operating systems work. 1:19 And we can't get new ones. 1:22 We're just stuck with this crap and, and they keep piling new features on everything and the new features always create new problems and it doesn't have to be like that. 1:33 We could be using really clean operating systems with really clean languages and really clean runtime and doing all this stuff in a much more reliable way. 1:45 But, but we don't seem to want to do that. 1:49 I've done javascript for a generation. 1:53 It's time for the next thing. 1:55 I, I don't think that should be AAA, considered a radical point of view. 1:59 I think it should be a normal evolutionary, view.
