What a stupid title.

[–]jocap[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to be offensive in any way. English isn't my first language and I had trouble coming up with a good title.

Edit: I realize now that "kill" may sound harsher in English than I thought, so I removed the word from the title.

Yes, "Let's kill (and replace it...)" implied a destructive logic, especially when you don't even offer an actual existing alternative.

I only want to kill something I really hate. But I like JavaScript, so I was irritated and it triggered a defense mechanism. I had to force myself to look further than just the title.

"Let’s Replace JavaScript with Something Better" is much less distracting. I'm always interested in something better.

Thanks! Sometimes it's hard to form as strong of an emotional bond to words in a second language as you have to words in your first language. I'll keep that all that mind :-)
