    One thing that gave me multiple wtf's is the arguments object. It's array-like, but not an array (actual bug) and it's shared on the page so passing it to a function does you no good (although I haven't checked if arguments[0] === arguments, but knowing JavaScript that's probaby NaN or some such :D).

    Read my (free) ebook Object-Oriented Programming in C# Succinctly. Visit my blog at Sander's bits - Writing the code you need. Or read my articles here on CodeProject.

      Actually Griffs analogy is bloody good. There's a whole raft of people who think a McDonalds is good food when it most clearly isn't. Just because something has a large user base, qv Smoking, it does not follow that it is any good. Popularity is not the same as Quality. JavaScript is to quality code what McD's is to fine dining. Argument. Closed.

        A whole lot of people listen to Justin Bieber and think he is wonderful. Are they correct as well? Popular != good

            You've been in one before. Well it is your own, but it is something.

              There's not mulch I can say. You compost what you like in the lounge - but sticking to puns befits you.

                      Why using Typescript, if there's already ECMA6 [^] available in almost all browsers? :confused::confused::confused:

                      Bolded the important bit. Almost isn't good enough in many places. And this[^] table still has an awful lot of red in it.

                        Finally a constructive answer. So far, desktop browsers are pretty much covered. Then i guess that android browser is the biggest missing piece
