JavaScript is shit. It makes the x86 ISA and C++ look well-designed.

that's a horrible thing to say.

Isn't it horrible and counterintuitive to have Math.min() > Math.max()?

Why couldn't they have made it strongly typed?

I think the weak typing is good for JS and allows generic programming without some hack like templates, which really isn't suitable for a browser scripting language.

>weak typing is good
IMPOSSIBRU. It makes language unoptimizable.
>>11
Nope. JS has ugly C-like syntax with CURLY BRACES and lacks metaprogramming.

but javascript v8 is the fastest dynamic language in existence

That's not LuaJIT.

I don't know about LuaJIT, but regular Lua is 5 times slower than Javascript V8.

http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=lua&lang2=v8

Lua is also less portable/widely implemented.

http://luajit.org/luajit.html

[LuaJIT] currently runs on all popular operating systems based on x86 or x64 CPUs (Linux, Windows, OSX etc.) or embedded systems based on ARM (Android, iOS), PPC or MIPS CPUs.

When is Javascript going to get libraries? Python, Ruby, Perl and Lua all come with a full set of libraries for accomplishing just about any task. There are no Javascript implementations that even have a full set of I/O. I would love to use Javascript, but without libraries it is stuck as a browser language

JS had libraries since the 1990s. Look up Windows Scripting Host. Linux fags are years behind everybody else as usual.

not crossplatform
No thanks.

I hear this all the time, like javascript is java on the outside but a nice beautiful Scheme on the inside. Sorry, but that's baseless bullshit from people who don't know either language.

You have weak/strong confused with dynamic/static.

not that it matters since js is horrendously weak-typed, too
