| > which is what makes it possible to be the worlds most compiled to languange Okay now that's just ridiculous. There are no other native scripting languages that the browsers understand. Of course it's going to be the most compiled to language, doh. Your statement is along the lines of "all Earth life breathes oxygen, this has to mean something". Well of course it means something. It means that our planet doesn't offer alternative biomes. It doesn't mean that oxygen-based life is ideal (which it isn't). JS is a legacy everybody is stuck with. That doesn't make it good. It only makes it a safe choice because it's widely used and has a larger pool of programmers as you said. Most businesses are followers. If an universally better technology makes strides you can be damn sure a lot of those follower businesses will be all over it after Facebook or Google adopts it. Nothing new, businesses always seemed to operate like so. Not sure what value do your comments bring except for stubbornly reasserting the state of our currently (and highly suboptimal) reality. Practically almost every non-junior programmer knows how we arrived here. And finally, the better business value of JS [devs] is far from given. It's a local maximum and nothing else. I've seen teams replace 5 average programmers with 1 senior, save 40% expense in doing so, and have much more maintenable code with much less support costs. These things do happen even if they are not the majority. And they will keep happening until one day somebody like you will lecture people how "JS was never bound to succeed". You should realise you are only reasserting current reality and are doing post-hoc rationalisations in an attempt to understand the said reality. This is completely fine; we all try to make sense of the world. Reality however is always in flux. Keep an eye out. ;) |
