Yeah, you're probably right. After all, I've only been programming since 1978, and have only written nine compilers.
Perhaps, on the other hand, you should actually read what I wrote, rather than reacting like an infant.

You can insult me, that doesn't mean I'm wrong. It means your old and still haven't learned to communicate or speak in concepts. Tootles.

Attack what I said, then, instead of attacking me. By doing that, you lose automatically. Go on: tell me why I'm wrong.

Whatever. "Add ignorant to deluded giving Dunning-Kruger", as they say in Cobol, which is a language in which people write shopping lists and convince themselves they're programmers.
And you've still failed to do anything other than insult me, from which I learn that you're actually talking to a mirror and I'm just listening.

I agree with and love your high-level point .. but on the specific example of JavaScript, you're wrong -- it's terrible. :]

Nope. You're welcome to your incorrect opinion though, but I instantly no longer view this conversation as senior level given that lackluster rationale that's clearly based on blah.

Yet in our most recent discussion you didn't hesitate to assume I know nothing about JavaScript just because I disagree with you (and now you're assuming you know more than pretty much the entirety of CP).
I've worked with JavaScript for over ten years (mostly front-end, mind you), I did some non-trivial work in it, and I can simply say it's a horrible language.
I'm not saying it can't do stuff, I'm saying it has way too many WTFs and doing stuff is often hard or weird.
The way it handles NaN (which you can easily get, for example by doing 1 - {}, yet 1 + {} yields a string), how "this" is handled is just pure madness, many WTFs with basic operators (like the + and - of a number and object, now try + and - on a string and number), missing basic functionality (although that's getting better), the lack of an integer type or a "safe" decimal type, the whole ecosystem which forces you to install 100s of dependencies of which some have a single line of code (padLeft, anyone?), and the list goes on.
It wasn't to long ago where the only sure way to check if an object is an array was Object.prototype.toString.call(obj) === "[object Array]" and for NaN obj !== obj despite the isNaN and isArray functions!
You seem to love JavaScript for some reason, the rest of the world hates it.
But of course the rest of the world must be wrong.
You claim people lack the maturity to not be overly emotional about crap, yet you seem overly emotional about JavaScript.
Let's be mature about it and agree to disagree.

Btw, I'm not wasting my time on your posts anymore when you've proven you don't even read mine before you do your hate thing. I expected more out of you.

I've read it, as I have read other posts of yours, and if there's one thing I can conclude it's that you're far from "grown up".
See ya later, "mid".

I sometimes asked in job interviews, "What are your favorite and least favorite programming languages?" The followup question was "What is your favorite feature in your least favorite language, and your least favorite feature in your favorite language?" The purpose of these two questions was to see if the candidate actually thought about the tools they use, or were they just a fanboy.
If a candidate went to a decent university CS program, they were exposed to some very different languages, so they would have a basis for this opinion. If they were self-taught, they might only know one programming language. I would take it easy on such a candidate if they admitted their limits, but not so much if they were a fanboy.

Saw ZZ top perform live in Sequin TX 1970. I grew up just down the road from Gruene (we pronounced it Green).
Saw ZZ top in Boerne, (we pronounced it Bernie) TX before they became famous.
Lagrange is small town southeast of Austin.
infamous for being the best little whorehouse in TX (Chicken Ranch).
Even made a movie about it (Dolly Parton). Not the best cinema made in TX.
