I know plenty of intelligent and accomplished programmers who use and like JavaScript. I like poking fun at it every now and then, but come on.

I must not be a true programmer, then. :/

Since apparently people are missing my ':)' above, they are missing that I replied to what I thought was a joke with another joke. So just to be clear, it was a joke. Sigh.

I quite like JavaScript for relatively light scripting tasks. In that role, I find it pretty well-suited.

For complex applications I'm as leery of it as anyone else.
