> Why JavaScript?
Because websites (and thus JavaScript, in some form) are the future of programming at this point in time. JavaScript just happens to be the primary programming language for interacting with HTML5 and a lot of people happen to know it pretty well.
Plus, JavaScript is not a terrible language but it does take a lot of knowledge to work with it cross-browser and use browser APIs (these browser APIs tend to suck).
- shock-value 13y agoJavaScript is not the future of programming. It is the past, present, and (most likely) future of client-side web programming, but that's all.
- invisible 13y agoI don't know why I bother to post on HN... I said websites are the future of programming. So yes, JavaScript is the client-side portion of that in which I was referring to in my previous post that you had to retort in some manner. Of course, you can use JavaScript, Ruby, Python, PHP for the server-side, but regardless that is a moot point when the article is about client-side programming on OS X.
