You're fighting a losing battle. The MRA's are impervious to facts.
Much of the internet is also openly hostile to men.
Help! Help! We're being oppressed!
I didn't think that the MRA's could get more pathetic. I guess I was wrong.
Try learning it before you use it next time.
Given that the few *actual* complaints about it (not empty 'it sucks' rhetoric) seem to be simple misunderstandings about the language (this, classes, etc.) I'm willing to bet that the problem is the user, not the language.
Really, it's not complicated. It's really very simple. It's different, yes, but far simpler than other, less sophisticated, languages. Take a few days to learn and understand the language. You'll be impressed. It's remarkably well-designed.
Even going with a simple Scheme implementation, like every undergraduate Comp Sci student will develop at one point or another, would have been better than JavaScript.
He wanted to do exactly that. Then someone at Netscape found out what Scheme was and put the kibosh on that plan. (Learn a little history, kid.)
In a way, we were really lucky. What we got was MUCH better. It's a rotten shame so few people here have actually taken the time to learn the language. It's really quite good. The "bad parts", interestingly enough, are the bits Eich was told to include to make it look more like Java (new, constructor functions, etc.)
It's perhaps the worst thing ever to have happened to the computing industry, the worst thing to have happened to the Web
There's a good chance that, without JavaScript, the web would have vanished. You probably don't remember all the hype surrounding the "x internet" back in the early 2000's, but the web was on it's way out. If not for JavaScript (and XHR) the web would likely have been replaced by some other set of technologies.
Why?
indeterminate behavior of "this"
So what you're saying is that you don't even understand the basics of the language. That's your fault.
Well, this is Slashdot so
You're deeply confused.
So your argument is "It offends me, so it's wrong"?
That's how things work here on Slashdot. Facts be damned, it's all about gut feelings.
This will, in fact, increase a prepper's social status since they can a) not be a burden on others in a group b) help others in a group and c) be viewed as intelligent, forward thinking, etc.
"Just wait until the world as we know it ends! Then they'll HAVE to like me! And, my boss, he'll need to listen to ME for a change!"
They just read the comments to see what the title and summary might be about.
I am just curious to know whether this chip can lead to the development of artificial brains to be used by Humans in future?
That's easy: No.
Kurzweil is the modern equivalent of a televangelist.
In short: You pulled it out of your ass.
I can accept that.
