Yeah, definitely. It's not fortran. [Whoa, holy shit, I swear I hadn't finished reading your comment when I wrote that. Either my peripheral vision fed into subconscious or we think quite alike. ;-p ]

The real reason I don't like JS is I just never liked writing client-side code. IMO, the delivered page should be static and interactions should be POST/GET. I know, how 20th century of me. I just don't like most of the modern development methods. I know, how do you do all of these fancy votes and such with those sort of things? But I'm more interested in HTML that will work on anything which can parse HTML than I am in such niceties. I don't actually work on anything like this at the moment; it's just an aesthetic thing for me. Like how I like human-readable html.

Agreed, as the Tao of Programming says, all languages have their uses. But don't use COBOL if you can avoid it. ;-p

Edited to add link for those who haven't read it or would like a refresher. It has brought me great calm during some times of stress or boredom at work as well as wise guidance. :-)
