Thanks for taking the time to make these interesting points.

Nonetheless reading them it just made javascript even more repellent to me.

It looks like a cup of bad tea to which you need to add some corrections and addons in the first place to taste at least as decent as the other teas. But still it's generally preferred to much better alternatives because it comes with this kind of unique (not true anymore) feature of non-blocking IO.

What some programmers don't realize in this, is that this inducted preference is just the result larger and larger scale profits needs, influencing the programming world.

If a competitor enterprise which operates in the same market as yours can answer to 10000 more concurrent visits than you do, then you are out of the market. Or: Internet marketing rules will tell you that if your visitors are not engaged in your website in about 5 seconds they'll leave.

This is why we are now forced to learn javascript.

And... programmatically speaking, it's really sad.
