If I could down-vote this lazy, drive-by, language bashing I would. Back up 'so messed up' or keep comments like this to yourself, they don't help the discussion.
I really don't think it's fair to say it's a terrible language. It does have some terrible, horrible parts. But it also has some wonderful, awe-inspiring, mind-blowing parts. It's just not a MOR language - you have extreme lows and awesome highs.
I would say that Javascript is not too bad a language because it has those nice parts. But overall, it's still a language that feels weird given all the bad parts.
I still don't get around how `this` can be so broken.
LOL! Obviously I struck a nerve. I thought it was obvious to everyone the problems of Javascript as a language. For laziness, how about weak typing and defining a class using a function. Plenty more examples, but you can do your own research if you are curious. BTW I like and use Javascript, but it is still a crap language.
