There are various reasons to rule out JS. It's a scripting language for browser engines, it's about as general-purpose as GLSL or ActionScript. Node grabbed it and forced it into a general-purpose suit it wasn't made for, but that's not a good reason to learn it as a first language. It's also simply a poorly designed language. On the other hand, the reason given for excluding Java is seriously reaching. The JVM isn't "complex" from the student's point of view, and hello world (and other exercises) can be compiled with a simple javac invocation. |
