    Beta News[^]:

    There’s nothing distinctive about JavaScript, with one big exception: JavaScript has a code complexity problem.

    They missed a few obvious ones, but of the ones they list, I think I have to agree with them.

      ~1k commits of real code (vs generated file wrappers or the like) are a cluster elephant in any language. Either they were only looking at fubar code bases, or they were only looking at noise checkins. Regardless, they came to the right conclusion by completely wrong reasons.

      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

        One would wonder with all those problems how did they duped millions of programmers to use it? How does it consistently makes it to the top of most popular and most in-demand languages?

          I don't think people use JavaScript out of choice. I think they use it because it's the only way to program the client on the web.

          The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

            I blame Mozilla. But broader, if you need to do something in the browser, you've little choice other than JavaScript.
