I love JavaScript, because it allows one to write a program that runs in a browser on any device. I think, JS could be the best programming language if only it had adopted the vec() function from perl. Of course, there are certain things you cannot do in JS like accessing the file system, but that’s because it would be a security issue. I think, JS is an awesome language. I don’t say that because I love the language itself. I say that because I love what you can do with JS. And I like that it’s very fast compared to other scripting languages. I like that unlike Java, I don’t have to download and install a runtime environment or a bulky software package to write and compile code. I just open Notepad and start typing. If I want to test my code, I just save it and open it in a web browser. No need to compile anything. No need to download modules, etc. It’s just very simple and straightforward language. I think, JS is like the BASIC of the 21st century. If anyone wants to learn computer programming, they should start with JavaScript. It’s the simplest language out there today.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
