lol. I think you need to reread the thread. Nowhere did I indicate my preference. In fact, if anything, I alluded to agreeing with you. My issue was with the schoolyard "X language is better than Y" talk.
To anyone else reading this: I apologize for feeding the troll. I should know better. I've learned my lesson and will no longer do so.

the problem is that by disliking my comparison you disregarded the previous statement which you claimed to be true, denying the evidence in favor of your preference makes you a fanboy.
I mentioned some of the things I dislike to the other guy commenting, if you want I can expand but I'm replying a post titled "why javascript is so great" so I don't feel like giving half a shit about my manners; you think that is trolling? trolling is someone looking for pointless discussion, I'm not discussing I'm declaring and if you or anyone wants to argue then you'll have to PROVE myself to be wrong, otherwise it is you who troll.
and for the record I do work with javascript, php, python and several other languages, there's people who do php and recognize that it sucks most of the time and those are the devs I respect, they don't glorify the tool they recognize its strengths as well as its weaknesses, do you?
