Is it the most misunderstood language of our generation?
It combines a lot of extremely powerful features of both functional and object-oriented programming.

Except they don't have to.
And you can write javascript like you write lisp if you feel like it, and then switch back to writing like C when it's convenient, and then also switch to OO.

And yet lack very basic and fundamental functions and features that are an essence to every other useful language. 10 hours are not enough to make a language that is not totally crap.
>>51855490
It's basically COBOL for the web.

nice digits senpai

It has more utilities available for it than almost any other programming language, though. It's like python, but faster, better syntax, and even more modules.

Shit, forgot the picture
>>51855516
please tell me you don't rely on automatic semicolon insertion
>>51855369
there are too many pitfalls
It requires a lot of discipline to write decent code

It works fine for me. It gives the syntax this really light and airy feeling.
I've never had problems with it.
It's basically Scheme for the web

No
Everyone understands that it's terrible, except for web developers (but they're a pack of madmen anyway).

No, it's a shit language and isn't nearly as object-oriented as a hardcore OOP language like Python.
