Why I don't suggest JavaScript as a first programming language

[Kent Sharkey]

IT World[^]:

For a career in software, JavaScript shouldn't be your first language.

function foo() {bar=42;whubba=function(){if(bar==true{alert(bar);}else{alert('nope');}};whubba();}foo();

Syntax Error?

function foo() {
bar=42;
whubba=function(){
if(bar==true <== Did you miss a closing bracket?
{
alert(bar);
}
else
{
alert('nope');
}
};
whubba();
}
foo();

Hehe, sorry, hard to tell. Tested in JSFiddle as well, but then I did format it after. Thanks.
