I started with PHP and C#/VB.NET, before learning JS. I know Python, Scheme, Java, I've played a bit with Clojure and Ruby[0]. After all that, JavaScript (admittedly, usually through CoffeeScript) is my favorite language. It provides everything you need to build almost anything you want, wrt tooling.
I understand and agree that it has warts, as does every language. But to call its use "stupid or insane" is ridiculous.
[0] I have yet to understand the concept of blocks, as they seem to be just a half-assed implementation of first-class anonymous functions. If someone can show how they improve on them, that would be much appreciated.

- sneak 13y agoYou didn't miss your cue, and delivered your lines perfectly. We're done for the day, we're not bringing in Eevee[1] and Dziuba[2] to shoot the "every language has warts hahaha what are you, a noob?" scene until tomorrow. You did great, thanks again. Don't call us, we'll call you. [1] http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-de...
