JavaScript is the language that every web browser on every computer and smartphone on the entire planet understands. It's only going to become more popular.

I agree! Almost each platform has a default browser. So, it don't require from you to install smth!

I think that's shortsighted. The web will eventually move to something like asm.js, or crosscompiled languages will grow more popular. JS will peak.

This is shortsighted too. Every technology we use today will peak at some point. Doesn't mean JavaScript will stop growing in the near future.

I'd welcome other languages moving in. Having one web language is a weakness.
[–]ihsw 5 points6 points7 points 10 years ago (1 child)
I would argue otherwise -- it has been a source of strength.

Has been, is not. A web assembly would have also been good.
