OK, but that doesn't change the important point.

Your comments make it clear that you know quite a bit in this area. Instead of venting annoyance, why not teach readers some of what you know? If you did so without snark you could add a lot of value to a thread like this. People are obviously interested in the topic or they wouldn't have upvoted the story to #1.

I can't teach anyone anything. I have neither the knowledge, skill, temperament, or desire. People will continue to implement things in a browser, poorly, and there is not a damn thing I can do about it.

The cynic in me says that happened because this is "X in Y lines of javascript, in the browser!". The one thing that is guaranteed to catch the attention of people here is reinventing the wheel--poorly.

All you need to do to teach readers is to post comments with real information in them. If you can't or won't do that, you should at least spare everyone the comments without real information in them.
