This, to me, sounds just like Douglas Crockford when he dismisses all the evils of Javascript as "things that never happen to him". Which is interesting, given that they occur to me and my work mates on a fairly regular basis.
- kaonashi 13y agoI don't think the gist is that there aren't problems with these languages, but that with a little carefully placed construction tape, you can avoid falling into the large holes.
- peterashford 13y agoYeah, people say the same thing about C++. It's great when you have your own carefully curated subset of the language.... and then you have to deal with other programmers & libraries
- kaonashi 13y agoThe difference being, you can't avoid javascript (if you want to target the browser); you can either write it directly, or use it as a compile target. Each has it's strengths and drawbacks.
