Python? Seriously?

I can't even begin to list the reasons why it's unsuitable.

A simple solution, which I'm sure you've overlooked, would be to try learning the language.

It's amazing how few people bother, even after using the language for years.

We did that before. It didn't work out.

Why do you think JavaScript is "badly designed"?

I'll accept "I was just repeating the meme" as an answer.

Fail! That's not entirely true for reasons that are obvious if you understand the language. Nice repeated meme though.

Or just use a bigint library, like users of other languages have done for years.

Really, if that's the best you manage, I'd love to see what language you think is well-designed. I guarantee that I can offer a criticism far more convincing that the one you've offered here.

Try learning the language first. You'll find that forming your own informed opinions is far more rewarding than the cheap up-mod you get for repeating nonsense.

What stupidity would that be?

Oh, that's right. You never bothered to learn the language. Never mind, I'll ask someone competent.

Small Basic seems to be Microsoft's current equivalent. It could use some improvements and better documentation, but it's not a bad start. Of course, they'd need to start bundling it. I doubt interested kids would find it on their own.

LOL

Not only have you confused me with the parent, you've outed yourself as an autodidact. You look absolutely ridiculous.

Leave the talk about logic to those with an actual education.

It is? Can you demonstrate that for us?

Just kidding -- I know you can't. I just hope a bit of embarrassment will stop you from using terms you clearly don't understand.

McDonald's sells billions of hamburgers. I guess they must be of exceptional quality, right?

I'm sure you do. Belief without evidence is very common among the hopelessly irrational.

On Resig and his incompetence, I'll direct you to any of his books or to the jquery and jstat source. If that's not enough to convince you he's laughably incompetent, I'll direct you to comp.lang.javascript. There's a reason he banned his followers from reading that newsgroup.

If they had included Chuck Moore, he'd be the only one on the list.

You don't list DaVinci along side Tom Kinkade. You just don't.

Even matching all of your criteria, that would be one massive list.

I don't. It's just a silly filler article, after all.

Your hatred for this cartoon version of feminism you've imagined has blinded you to reality.

I think I'd put Knuth on the bottom, just because his code is virtually impenetrable.

Readability is undervalued.

Well said. There are some really great developers out there that you'll likely never here about. Roland p on Atariage, for example, deserves a mention for his Ballblazer 2600 work. Really, a lot of the hobbyists there top-notch.

I'll bet you'll find quite a few well-above-average developers in communities like that.
