If I'm going to damn my soul, I'd rather find other ways
it's so great that it'll allow you to just decide to use some member variable somewhere without declaring it
Undeclared variables are implicitly global. A code inspector will warn you about mistakes like that!
there's no way to know the type of a variable
It should be clear from the way it's used or by the documentation (if it exists). This is true of not only Javascript, but every dynamic language. If that's not good enough, use one of the readily-available and straightforward debuggers. Another quick approach is to just console.log(var)
"please don't make me learn how to use Javascript properly"
Let's see how it deals with my IBM model M keyboard
Maybe you don't "get" Google's Dart strategy. It's ActiveX all over again, but with more technical finesse.
How is Dart cross browser? It only runs in Chrome. Does having a cross compiler to JS make it cross browser? That'd make any language cross browser, which is to stretch the definition to the point of meaninglessness.
Javascript isn't rocket science to use. You've just got to put in the effort to read a couple books to understand that it requires different design strategies from other OO languages. The scoping, prototypes, and events are actually really nice if you bother to learn how to use them properly.
It's no problem for people in Copenhagen. Minneapolis also has a pretty big modal share for bikes, in American terms. The infrastructure and vehicles are cheap to build, take up little space, are far less deadly, and cause no air or noise pollution. I'd love to see bike infrastructure built up everywhere.

No, I'm reading e-books on Safari so that this meeting isn't a total waste
more interested in writing code that works than code that's maintainable
That's how business works in general. You want to write good code, but deadlines and shifting goalposts turn all your best plans into a swamp.
More than 4 gig of memory is a waste for a browser.
Obviously you are not a serious Javascript experimenter! Now that we've got canvas, WebGL, web workers, and audio, there's plenty of memory intensive stuff we can do inside the browser. The only limiting factors that distinguish web pages from real applications nowadays are your understanding of Javascript and how shitty of a browser you're willing to target.
Web Audio API actually is an interesting feature.

Why didn't the meteorite leave a hole exactly the same size and shape as the object itself?
Clearly this means explosives were used in a controlled demolition of the lake's frozen surface.
you are NOT 'the company' and the company is not you
The wasted hours of our lives are all that the company is made of, even if we do not have a claim to it.
Look at those dumbasses who believe in something bigger than getting a high paying job as a spook.
Fuck you.
Variables don't; constants aren't.
