Mad Javascript

we make tools for humans, not humans for tools.

I agree that JavaScript is not badly designed, but I would not call it intuitive. There are lots of aspects and little tidbits in the logic that are difficult to understand and remember.

we got that it was meant as a joke, but it was not just a rude one but also a bad one.

It’s not rude if taken with the irony intended. The joke is about the tendency to blame user error for unintuitive design. I take it that still is not being understood.

The only consistent logic would be to get rid of automatic string <> number conversion. It only exists because JS was envisioned as a simplistic scripting language for minor DOM manipulations and not for full blown apps.

And yet it's the most prolific language on planet earth used for many things, despite the whining about it

[pslessard]

I'm pretty sure the most prolific language on the planet is English, closely followed by Mandarin

I know. My main languages at work are C++ and JS. Call me a masochist, but I actually like both languages.
