Re: I Am Switching to JavaScript
#3This had me laughing the whole way through.
One of the most sarcastic put-downs of a language I've ever seen.
It won't change anyone's mind; that's not its purpose.
It's meant to be funny. Don't take it too seriously. Read it for fun.

EDIT: We all know there are lots of reasons to use JS for a ton of use cases -- indeed, JS is currently the most widely used language on Stack Overflow: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology-_-... -- but that doesn't mean we can't recognize and laugh at the idiosyncrasies of the language :-)

#6This is an Aprtil fools right?

#7This is satire but it's pretty lame and unconvincing satire, so much so that I didn't realize it until about 1/3 of the way in. The funniest thing here is a Go developer complaining about JavaScript's unpredictable behavior.
I'm not going to take the bait and start a flame-war. I will just say that odd quirks don't make either of them a bad language because they each have many other benefits. And that the author shouldn't quit his day job to become a comedian.
