Renouncing the JavaScript

I was a regular P.R.O.G. reader in 2009–2010. At that time JavaScript was a joke consigned to troll posts by morons like Frozen2BUo.

In 2012 I returned and found JavaScript being taken seriously. What has happened, /prog/? Have you all lost your minds?

It is 3x at median, it has a far larger spread than the compiled languages, up to 150x:

And ``scripting'' languages like this is fucking shit when even a single typo gives you halting problem-tier bugs, even Scheme at least expects you to define variables. I'd rather compile from a serious language (like Haskell) to JS than deal with JS directly for anything involving more than 300 lines.
