fyroc58749yI love Javascript. It's probably the most versatile language yet. It allows you to get really creative and makes our very technical careers really creative. I can create mobile, web, and OSx/Windows software using nothing but javascript and JS libraries.

@luciam91 Microsoft and Github are writing desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. But what do they know.

nmunro31909yMaybe I've gone totally bad crap crazy and drank too much of the Crockford cool-aid, but...
I used to suck at and hate js too, now it's all I want to program in. Closures, lambda functions, first class function, dynamic objects, prototypes...
I mean... I genuinely absolutely love it now, and I had an education covering C++, C#, Python, Mozart/Oz etc.
I suck at JavaScript. Like, I really, really am considering doing something else with my life right about now.
