>Look at Javascript or any of these other languages out there. They started with a simple premise (“I want to do simple scripting in a web browser”) and now people are writing freaking server apps in it. What happened there? Is there a logical leap that was missed? How is this a good idea? [Audience laughs] Sorry, I love Javascript too. Iʼd just love to kill it even more.

Emphasis mine. Not that I disagree completely...

It's interesting to see people talk a bunch about how nothing is good or bad, it's all a bunch of trade offs, and then they eventually tip their hand. I think people should just come out and say what they think is good or bad.
