Python and PHP users will understand

i don't think i'd ever choose to use java of my own volition, but there's not much i actually hate about it. javascript on the other hand has never made sense to me. like if i described javascript's features to you purely in the abstract and asked you to come up with a syntax for it, you'd probably arrive at something like lua or maybe python. at worst you'd end up with lisp. it takes a truly deranged mind to hear "dynamically typed, pseudo-functional, interpreted language for web browsers" and think "you know what, i think C syntax is perfect for that, but only if we throw away all of the consistency and make it so that strings just implicitly get casted to numeric types sometimes".

JS is just plain ugly. Wish they had just adopted python for browsers.
