Ah, okay. Maybe it’s more obvious in context, or maybe my hyperbole detector is broken.

  Just as a small note I did not get that too.

  I can imagine grumpy an old man frustrated by a different paradigm shouting at his computer. We all become that eventually, hopefully we can all be as poetic and humble (and honest) about it.

    Sure, but “JavaScript [is] utterly broken, incapable of executing the simplest programs without errors” is a bit much. I find it hard to believe that even when I’m completely out of touch, I’d say that about a language that people are obviously productive in (as much as I hate JS myself). But apparently I didn’t get the hyperbole.

      Sometimes when I play a point n click adventure and I am stuck for hours on a puzzle I tend to think: I've tried everything... surely there must be some kind of bug for why I am not proceeding. Only to then realize (after reading the walkthrough) that there was indeed a way. I think it's human nature to find (rather search) blame not only in yourself but everywhere else... anyhow, since the author is reflective we should be forgiving as well.
