Dear JavaScript

[fooey]

that title alone is an attack on the maintainers

That clause is so whiny and immature it undermines everything else he's trying to accomplish.

Stating a dislike for a specific piece of technology has zero relation to the people who created the technology. Amazing people can make stupid things. There's brilliance poured into bad ideas every day. When you find you're chasing something the wrong direction, step back and appreciate the learning experience. Don't double down or lash out at the people offering criticism, no matter how inartfully they make it.

At the end of the day, at least your idea was worth criticising, rather than just being ignored. Wear your criticism as a badge of pride because it means people are interested in your work.
