Oh, I'm absolutely not trying to bash Brendan. The fact that he managed to produce anything at all in the short time he had is profoundly impressive on its own, and the core of genius that exists in between the Bad Parts is worthy of all kinds of admiration. Also, the way I understand it, he originally intended to make a Scheme implementation for the browser - unsuccessfully, alas, but it still suggests he may well be the most amazing man in web history, even if he does know how to use a razor.

The point of the JS bashing in the slides is that the Bad Parts do exist, and CoffeeScript does a great job of routing around them, as does Strict Mode.

[iwwr]

He knows how to use a razor, he just choses not to.
