> It is a terrible language As Douglass Crockford says, JS is a great language with some terrible parts. I don't understand why some people can't get past that

  Because many people use the terrible parts.

  Except that it's not. Having many different parts by itself is enough to make a language bad. The fact that some of the most important of those parts are basic makes it terrible.

  Well, then. What about the language should make me think "wow, this actually is a great language"? And I mean the actual language itself, not the ecosystem around it.

    With the exception of the bad parts that you have to remember to stay away from, it is a very simple language.
    • pdpi 12y ago
      By definition, if I have to remember to stay away from the bad parts, it can't possibly be that simple.
