While javascript has obvious flaws, nobody would ever agree on what a sane language would be.
I would also say that, personally, I think that how the DOM is implemented is itself the biggest pain point of web development, not really javascript.
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoLua is a sane ECMAScript in many ways.
- robocat 11y agoExcept that Lua and the Lua libraries are not strictly defined. Lua would be a fine choice if we were all to use for example only Microsoft Lua ;-) Seriously, there have been a large number of compatible ECMAScript implementations, which still astounds me because that is no easy feat.
- gravity13 11y agoWhy DOM? It seems pretty simple to me, a simple standardized tree of nodes representing content. My biggest gripe would actually be CSS. I mean, wtf.
