Are you serious? Please take a look at this message:
>Wrong. Javascript was designed in a week. The creator admits it's bad. This is universally known by professional programmers, why are people defending this?
That is an opinionated message about a language. I imagine people are taking offense to my opinion, in which case I urge everyone to take a step back and look at the difference between the insulting sarcasm and an extreme opinion. Sometimes circumstance and bias blinds you into taking offense, especially if you're one of those people who only knows javascript.
>Should I not consider myself a professional developer because I don't find JavaScript bad? In fact, there are parts of it I quite like.
This message illustrates exactly what I'm talking about. When did I say any of this? Did I say you're not a professional developer because you don't find javascript bad? No. I said Professional developers find javascript to be really shitty, and it's quite universally known. My mistake, I should have wrote "Many" professional developers, as you seem to mistook it to be "All" professional developers.
Look, there is no denying this fact. A great number of really good developers intensely hate javascript, there's a reason why. I will say this: You are a horrible javascript developer if you do not have the ability to comprehend the bad parts of javascript and why "many" developers find the language so shitty.
> That is an opinionated message about a language.
No. It's a rude, factually incorrect, and just plain obnoxious comment with nothing to recommend it. Are you shocked it was met with ridicule and hostility?
> you seem to mistook it to be "All" professional developers.
That's because you're a bad writer who speaks in (incorrect) absolutes.
> Look, there is no denying this fact.
He said while lots of people deny it.

I've never found a really good developer to hate any language. Good developers tend to appreciate languages for their strengths - even if they prefer not to use them or don't like their idioms.
It's often a sign of a very poor developer to get into the kind of crazy language war stuff you're talking about.
>No. It's a rude, factually incorrect, and just plain obnoxious comment with nothing to recommend it. Are you shocked it was met with ridicule and hostility?
I'm never shocked it when things are met with hostility. It's natural for people to meet constructive criticism with hostility, that is human nature and apparently yours as well. What I said was not rude at all, I directly re-quoted what I said so you can point out exactly which part of my message was rude. You couldn't. You are a liar, which is a thousand times worse than rude. Also it's not factually incorrect. It's factually correct. Stop lying.
>> you seem to mistook it to be "All" professional developers.
>That's because you're a bad writer who speaks in (incorrect) absolutes.
I am a bad writer or are you a bad reader? Where exactly did I use the term "All" developers? Nowhere. If I used that term nowhere than logically there is no way I could have spoken in absolute terms. You are again lying. You are a liar. The worst of it's kind. I wonder if you are just not reading the text carefully or if you are deliberately just an ass.

You haven't met enough developers. Good developers tend to be highly, highly opinionated. They have extreme opinions about many things and languages they hate. Again you are speaking from inexperience or lies. Lets put it this way: It is not probable that all languages are created equal... with strengths balancing weaknesses, this is not the way the world works. Things come out better or worse, rarely are things created totally yin yang balanced... Languages are the same... some are better some are worse.

You gotta be kidding me. There are a good amount of developers who hate javascript. Unless you don't work at a node shop than you've probably been drinking that koolaid since forever. Many, Many developers don't like javascript, this is obvious af.
Should I not consider myself a professional developer because I don't find JavaScript bad? In fact, there are parts of it I quite like.
