There are 2 issues with JS. First is simply as a language. Some people hate it's weirdnesses, which I do understand, but the easy way is to deal with it is just be very explicit. The more interesting one is JS as a web tool. The reason I'm so against it (and I am making a point and do not want to start an argument) is that it exposes a turing complete language directly to the web, said language having very substantial access to the browser, which stores and ultimately can expose an awful lot of personal information to the world. Where else do we allow this to happen? JS per se isn't an issue, just the dangerously privileged position it's been given. Any other lang doing the same thing would be distrusted by me equally. |
