Requires no programming skills?

I subscribe to the CodeProject daily newsletter (keep up the good work). In today's update, there was a link to an article, Why Every Developer Should Learn Javascript? [^] In the article, there is a line "Where as most languages require a bit of knowledge and programming understanding, Javascript does not." Really? So, someone with no understanding whatsoever can open up a web page and start programming? I'd love to use his website ...

Try viewing the source of the websites you visit. I think you'll find that's precisely what's happening! :laugh:

Type* the following in your browser's navigation text box (where you normally type the URL):
javascript:alert(navigator.appName)
You are now a programmer even though *you* do not know anything. You really did just program the computer but you have not had to learn anything. :rolleyes: That's the power of JavaScript!!! :laugh: <ENTER> denotes the place where you press the <ENTER> key. *you* is not you, but the person who knows nothing about programming. :) *NOTE: If you copy the code and paste it, then the browser will remove the important javascript: protocol and it won't work. It's a safety feature.

It's a study in clumsiness, not a programming language. What would you need programming skills for? But, as I can read in the same article, it can be used for most things you could use other languages for. Really? Why don't we just use those other languages and finally can do all things we used to do again? Sounds a lot like the bragging of the PHP Hobbits. They also claimed to be able to do EVERYTHING with PHP. Only until you told them what they definitely could not do. Then PHP magically was not a programming language anymore, just a scripting language. Why do those guys stumble from one useless interpreter to the next?

Precisely. ;)

Every article bragging about the awesomeness and omnipotence of a "certain programming language" ( :laugh: ) is essetially someone's opinion. Although in mine, the world is a better place without that language.
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock. In fact, I hate knocking.

How does your example differ from copy/paste of any other language (into an appropriate environment). If, for example, someone bought VS2017 and copied/pasted C# code, does that make them a programmer (as per your description)? And it doesn't have to work. A bad programmer, but programmer non-the-less, by your scenario. And a "Hello World!" to you, too!

From your post, I clearly ascertain that your favorite native programming language is Huberis++

No compiling. No special tools -- web browser is now an extension to the human. :-D I mean if you have to install Visual Studio that's a pretty big deal and will preclude some from becoming developers. There should be no barriers to entry. :D Yes, I'm being facetious. :rolleyes: As I was in my original post.
