Crockford does opinionated wrong. It's fine to be opinionated, but it's not fine to give absurd (often stupid) justifications for actions and beliefs that are wrong: "I removed pointers from C because I saw people were using them to manipulate implementation defined details of their environment, a practice which would have destroyed interoperability. I know that the lack of pointers makes some people sad, but it shouldn't." Another of my favorites is the justification for part of why jslint is unusable in any real environment because Crockford thinks anonymous functions are unprofessional and only used by people who don't know what they're doing: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/jslint_com/conversations/topics/1553 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/jslint_com/conversations...
