Settling for JS in the first place says something about the software industry in general. Let alone any MVC frameworks-of-day.

- dasil003 12y agoYou say that as if there is some volition involved in the "settling" on JS. But there is no cohesive group with the agency to do any such thing. It's like blaming human evolution on individual human choices throughout history.
- rwmj 12y agoWell, we could decide as an industry that we really need to fix the code-in-web-browsers problem, and then fix it with a language which encourages safety and reliability. The fact that we haven't done that supports the OP's point.
- svisser 12y agoBut the same can be said about C / C++ with undefined and quirky behaviour. Even when the desire to replace them is there, it's near possible given the present situation.
- CmonDev 12y agoWell, actually: http://www.rust-lang.org http://www.rust-lang.org Everything is possible. One step at a time. C++ and JS belong with COBOL.
- snarfy 12y agoIf that were true there would be no such things as CoffeeScript and TypeScript. The market settled on JavaScript, not the software industry. The software industry is doing what it can with the hand the market dealt them. It's not like x86 is an awesome architecture, but here we are.
- CmonDev 12y agoMarket doesn't care what is running the products. The problem is dodgy organizations over-promoting wrong choices (W3C, Google, Mozilla etc.). Microsoft tried to fight back with Silverlight, but given up.
- laichzeit0 12y agoBut what does it say exactly? That people prefer C-like syntax as opposed to anything else? That "done is better than perfect" when it comes to releasing a new language? That Netscape got it "wrong" in the 90's by including Javascript in their browser? I'm not quite sure what you're implying here.
