This is a case of a famous, high status person making a statement without credible arguments. In other words, if a non-famous person said this, nobody would take him seriously (or noteworthy), because he doesn't really contribute anyth

I wouldn't call Consumer Reports that objective. They probably have a significant pro-United States bias.

That's interesting. Any chance you could be more specific?

Yes, the the first version of JavaScript was pretty bad. It's been improved since.

According to Wikipedia, Go's concurrency-model is not safe, and that's a huge problem in my opinion: "There are no restrictions on how goroutines access shared data, making race conditions possible. Specifically, unless a pro

JS is better thought out than either Perl or Python. (Since we're just stating opinions without arguments here).

And if you run that code in a non-asm.js browser, it'll still be compiled to native code if the application benefits from it.

Wow, surprised at -4 downvotes. Handling long paths is necessary when working with Node.js, for example.

I wonder if it can handle paths with more than 254 characters.

Well, you're just attacking a strawmen. "Proven" is not a binary value, there are degrees of proof when we're talking about aviation technology. One can reduce bureaucracy while still leaving a justified amount of bureau

If bureaucracy prevents new technology of being adopted quickly, then that bureaucracy actually decreases safety, even if it's goal is to increase safety. Yes, adopting new technology increases some risks, but also decreases others. Th

You should give Node.js and npm a shot. It's one of the best examples of practical modularization. It's very easy and quick to test a new package, and while the documentation is often rough, the main readme on GitHub almost always
