This was a really insightful response to a fairly typical neophyte language rant. I run a popular JavaScript meetup group and see a lot of JS devs trying to fit square pegs in round holes, struggling to make conceptual jumps from synchronous, O-O programming to a functional, continuation passing style. They gravitate to Promises or CoffeeScript, search endlessly for better control flow libraries, and try to write their own frameworks to make JS work like php/ruby/java, until eventually the light bulb goes on, and they get some of the concepts this article hit on. Thanks for posting.
