¬_¬ I would not have ridiculed you in 2002 but I sure would have given you a suspicious, sideways glance. By 2007 or so I would have been telling everyone I was the early adopter and you were just copying me. :P

Actually it was already in 2000... ;)

I implemented a search engine for uni lectures which worked offline.

I was writing my first JS in 1998 but I quickly came to hate it. That was in the browser freezing, impossible debug days. It was jQuery (and the death of IE 5) that brought me back with enthusiasm.

Sounds like a bad case of premature adoption. :-)

Today, however, liking and praising Javascript is surely the sign of breadth of vision.

Javascript is semantically probably the closest to Perl.

People tend to judge by syntax not features.

The only thing I really disdain is the way "hashes" were polluted with side effects of object methods.
