There are many who think that JS is not an acceptable means of developing applications for computers. It may be effective, but not acceptable.

(Disclaimer: I'm one of them, so this argument doesn't really appeal to me personally. I'd rather there were tools that don't require me to have a lobotomy to use them..)

Those people are universally wrong

[mmjaa]

Rubbish. Javascript is far from acceptable as a first language to learn and use.

[matthewmacleod]

Nah. Any language is acceptable as a first language. I started writing BASIC. Gatekeeping is for losers.
