I have zero feeling one way or another towards javascript as I made a conscious choice not to deal with it - I write Python and Lua for a living. Just like I made a conscious choice not to deal with PHP, I care very little what happens to PHP.
You're very much the one with the "strong feelings" there, accusing "intellectual laziness" for not putting real efforts in a language which is simply not worth anyone's time - not to mention assuming that people who think the language is inferior actually use it.
As I said, it's a productivity decision. The opposite of laziness.
If you wanna do any consumer facing web stuff, you gotta code in js in one way or another. So, if you don't do any web stuff that's fine but other people doing any serious front or back end web stuff have to master the language to get the maximum out of their work.
I very much work on frontend as well. I just use coffeescript or dart when I need to. You seem to be missing the entire point of pretty much all the comments, and you keep making more assumptions.
You're 0 for 3, yet you're still acting smug. I'd take a look into that if I were you. Take this as general advice.
Edit: I saw your comment below - I'm done replying to you directly, you're probably not a troll, but it's sad that you behave like one.
So, in a previous statement you said you code in Python & Lua and now you say that you code in CS/Dart which are more or less dialects of js.
You seem very agitated and disturbed for no apparent reason. We're discussing prog langs after all. Maybe you need to explore sports or politics to vent your anger as it's building up and you might explode anytime :L:
