    All germans know that this is not going to happen. The euro is here to stay, and germans (at least those who generate most of the GDP for germany) are willing to pay in order to keep it. After all, we can do the math.

    For example, I continuously found myself often type stuff like var me = this ...some local function body that uses me... Probably "boring" is the wrong word. "Tiring" is more to the point.

    Open standards are nice, and Javascript is in many ways better than Java or C# (but not better than F#, for example). But I am a professional programmer, and from my point of view Javascript is still a boring mess. Heterogeneity is the key,
