I too see JS growing to be an all around general purpose language, and it is definitely a good one to learn to break away from the standard class based languages. The book Javascript - The Good Parts is a great and explains the power and weaknesses of Javascript.

- laichzeit0 13y agoAs crazy as it sounds, I too can see that as having a good probability of happening. I'm a C/C++ coder and I picked JS up from the book JavaScript the Good Parts and thought "Hey this is pretty neat actually". But I think there are a lot of people like me who are more Java/C/C++/C# systems programmer type of people who haphazardly learned JS without _really_ learning it because the syntax looked all too familar. Kinda ignored JS as something HTML scripters play with and now we're in this situation where it's the "de facto" language of the web. I can't help but think there will always be this underlying hatred towards the language from this crowd because it's so bad in many respects and a recollection of how bad and slow it was in the 90's.
