Yes you read that title right, All software engineers should learn JavaScript. When you absolutely, positively, must start a language war.

I agree. It's a perfect example of how NOT to do a programming language and will make one much more appreciative of knowing other languages that we would otherwise take for granted.

I dont think it was my intention to start a language war because if I had to pick an all around language to shove down everyones throat it would definitely be C# and not JavaScript.

He's right! If your job demands using JavaScript, go and learn it. You can not use your knowledge of the C family alone. JavaScript has so much crazy things that you must get familiar with it...

I hate to admit it, but the article is basically correct. The only practical way to do any kind of cross-platform UI today is via HTML + CSS + JavaScript.
But I really hope Node.js does not catch up - there is absolutely no reason to use JavaScript on the server side where we have much better alternatives...

Ahhhh, I have to admit that I like using Node.js. I find it, along with Express, allows me to be much more productive than ASP MVC.

I'm dying inside typing this out in public, but I'm finding that customizing wordpress is much easier and enjoyable than working with nopCommerce, which is a well written asp mvc eCommerce platform.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella addressed a wide variety of topics at the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce annual luncheon today, speaking broadly about his vision for the company and its place in the Seattle region. "I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business."

Can a robot learn right from wrong? Attempts to imbue robots, self-driving cars and military machines with a sense of ethics reveal just how hard this is. The first Law is the hardest (baby, I know)

I guess it's just a shortcoming of the algorithm!
The robot should also evaluate the urgency of the situation, and when it reaches a given threshold it should take a random (and weighted) instant decision! Instead of keeping pondering!
