To each their own. I'm convinced it's just a visceral reaction to the square bracket syntax. Obj-C remains my favorite language of all time (although I haven't written it in years). Having a high level language that allows yo

None of this matters once your analysts get ahold of it and dump 10MB of JS snippets on the page. Frameworks don't make things fast. Any one in existence can be cached out to Cloudfront and made equally "fast" from a TTFB
