>is both wrong and boring.

I'm not sure how someone's statement of personal motivation can be wrong? Here is mine: JavaScript doesn't suck. However I personally do "only use it because I have to", i.e. because of the browser support. Nothing more. Where's the "wrong" in that? I'm not lying to you. I promise.

And JavaScript isn't alone! There are many more languages I think are simply okay, and don't suck. Several of those I have used professionally because I had to, but would not choose them for a personal project. I would also use them if they were all a web browser ecosystem supported.
