I try to avoid using Javascript whenever possible, though that has nothing to do with Brendan Eich. And just to clarify, my hypothetical was in response to one specific argument. I didn't say that I personally was joining those calling to boycott Firefox. I honestly don't know how I feel, because it's not a simple matter. But I object to those who argue that it is a simple matter.

If it was possible, we'd have ditched JavaScript a long time ago. People seem upset over the fact that Mozilla leadership is choosing a person that admits to wanting to discriminate. People seem far less concerned about what assorted engineers might think or do.
