Fixed that for you ;)

  - First they said JS was not practical for building 'rich
    internet apps' because of performance issues combined with
    the well known maintainability problem with JS in large
    code bases.
  - Then they said it wasn't currently fast
  - Then they said it hadn't been fixed
  - Then it doesn't do multicore/GPU
  - Right every time
  - My advise: always bet on JS* being behind most other
    languages because it is a slow moving standards based
    language created in a dictatorial fashion by a committee
    and input from a few powerful entities.
