- josefx 1y ago> Look at JS. Given how much duct tape it took at times to get various browsers to behave I would say JS is proof of the opposite. It succeeded in an environment where standards where a mere suggestion.

- frollogaston 1y agoDon't they all run JS ES5 itself the same way? It's more that each has different feature sets (HTML5 stuff, webrtc, wasm, etc), which are callable from JS but would've been a problem regardless of the language.
