For JavaScript, Microsoft were caught sleeping at the wheel with VBScript and Google leveraged that so JavaScript won that battle.  Personally I think JavaScript is an abomination for a multitude of reasons I can't possibly fill in a forum thread (even ignoring it's client-side security issues).

 

Not only Google, the open source community leveraged it as a whole. Regarding your opinion on your JavaScript, some will think the opposite on what you think ;). Anyway, personally for me, TypeScript is a good way to compile to Javascript as I always had problem with Javascript type safety.

Yes indeed, that's why it's so popular and so hated ... this article pretty much sums up JavaScript for me.  Employer's love it sooo ... maybe they just don't understand it?  😉

Cheers, Rob.  

The quote in the conclusion reminded me that there are only 10 kinds of people, those who know binary and those who don't. lol

It is the same logic as well for Python. Despite sometimes being annoying to the max (well Python and I we have complicated relationship lol) yet it is so popular among data science and machine learning programs 🙂

Someone ever figure how to move that decades old saying into the quantum computing realm? 🤪

BTW, about 20 years ago I got a t-shirt as a gift with that printed on it; still gets an occasional grin when I wear it.

 

And finally, I love to program in perl.  10 well written lines of it can be worth dozens in other languages.
