And another ranting against JavaScript claiming it to be a horrible language... The author does not give any evidence why JS would be a bad language.

I write JS-code on a daily basis for over 10 years now, mostly in a functional fashion, and I get things done on time without much headache. Also I know the platforms well and their issues.

The bad side of JS is not the language or the underlying platforms, but the huge amount of substandard programmers creating aweful libraries and frameworks which are used by even less capable hackers.
