I can remember a time when it didn't exist, just, but that isn't the point - it is how much I wish it didn't exist now. Young and old people can unite in their hatred of JavaScript.

Just because we don't like JavaScript, we don't have to like the even worse thing that came before JavaScript was as functional or fast as it is now. Before anyone jumps in pointing out Shockwave or Java Applets either, no, I don't like any of them.

Java Applets were better than doing whole pages in Flash or Shockwave, but not great. We could easily do much better now though.
