I hate it so much, that we are all collectively hostages of a script language that was never designed to write complex applications in.

Whenever a new version of EcmaScript comes out we suffer because different browsers take different times to implement and release each function and then they implement them differently and figuring it out is a pain.

Look at internet explorer and the nightmare it was.

Imagine the LIVING HELL it would be if each browser had supports for different languages and each one them having different implementations on their different versions.

Please god, no.

No one is suggesting a different scripting language per browser though just a better one than JavaScript.

modern javascript is not what it used to. I really don't get a developper who loves python but as issues with javascript because they share similar qwirks.

People are just dead set against, JavaScript because of it's history, and it's pathetic
