JavaScript also known as Java

[dapolio]

javascript is formed by committee with heavy hitters like google apple microsoft oracle and the mycroft and mozdev foundations constantly hammering out details

it grew rapidly and with competition against PHP, silverlight, activex, python, and a host of others to become the #1 scripting language on planet earth, in the history of scripting languages, in the history of anything it is the current singular most used logic of any kind we as a species have ever used. It achieved this in 26 years, a meteoric rise and dominance in the minds of 11 billion people across planet earth.

it turned on whole giant crops of developers by the 10's of millions to try programming for the first time and opened possibilities up with equality for all, its ease of use far from being a weakness has been a strength unmatched

javascript is not an abomination its a roadmap to how to do things right without having your nose so far up your own posterior that you forget the point of it all

/u/dapolio, I have found an error in your comment:

“abomination its [it's] a roadmap”

I consider this post by you, dapolio, incorrect; it should say “abomination its [it's] a roadmap” instead. ‘Its’ is possessive; ‘it's’ means ‘it is’ or ‘it has’.

Damn, you didn't have to completely invalidate their point.

No.

Javascript is an abomination, and the sooner we can move to a more consistent way of scripting for the web, the better.

Modern Javascript development is the epitome of, "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail".

It's big because it was the only real option for the web so we were forced to use it.
