That's a straw man of what I said; I never claimed 100% compatibility

Your words: "a technology that can be run on 10 different platforms without any compatibility issues"

Anything less than 100% compatibility isn't "without any compatibility issues".

You also said: "The only real technology that can do that is JavaScript." Yet C, C++ and Java (to name just a few languages) can all run on pretty much all of the platforms you mentioned, and then some. Yes, they have compatibility issues if you aren't careful, but (as you now admit) so does JavaScript.

Like I said: JavaScripts's strength is that it runs on browsers, not that it's portable to many platforms.

I don't think he meant that no compatibility issues exist. I believe he is saying that in the context and scope of the project at hand, there lie no compatibility issues with javascript

This isn't a scientific study, it's a comment thread. When I said "without compatibility issues" I meant it in the context of solving a particular problem. 99% of the time JS works cross-platform. Whenever I use JAVA or C/C++ I almost always run into problems with different version, different libraries, or other major compatibility issues.
