128 bytes? That's child's play.

Somehow, I don't think the parent was actually wrong...

I'm sure there are.

But, it's obvious that you can't identify them.

Resig falls squarely in to the "incompetent" category, by any measure.

Right. Because unnecessary complexity is what makes a language great...

Let me guess, you only program in whitespace and brainf*ck?

That wasn't the parent's complaint.

Total fail. Javascript is not Java, C#, etc. Google "prototype-based programming" or put your ACM DL subscription to good use.

You made an awful lot of extra work for yourself.

My sarcasm detector is going off, so forgive this reply if I'm off:

There really are tons of "good examples of on the web of HTML5 and JS providing fast, standards-based 3D." Do a quick search.

LOL!

Too funny. It's like you're a time-traveler from 2005.

So you agree with me then. Great.

PDO was released with PHP 5.1 and available for 5.0 8 years ago.

Your only complaint was address a long time ago. Let it go, man, let it go.

I wouldn't. Name mangling being a good enough reason for the instances that pop in to my head at the moment.

You're drowning. Sorry, but reality doesn't agree with your uninformed opinions. JS has been impressively stable, and cross-browser issues have been negligible for a long time now -- none of which, I'll remind you, have been language implementation compatibility issues.

Listening to you, one would think that the web barely functioned, with users needing multiple browsers, and various versions of each, to use a handful of sites. That's clearly not the case.

Here in reality, the web is developing nicely in to a convenient application platform. JS is an impressive language, far more sophisticated and capable than the alternatives you've suggested. (New and constructor functions were the big mistakes, leading to all sorts of confusion, and later hate, for those who didn't take the time to learn the language before using it. Luckily, they're unnecessary. Try actually learning the language. I'll bet your opinion will quickly change.)

I'll bet your python program doesn't run either. What was your point again? That you don't like JS or that the web is incapable of being used exactly how it's being used?

Well, okay. It's never caused me any problems and it's been useful to me.

Your experience is different. You've never found it useful and it's caused you problems.

I'll bet we could make a whole list of common language features that match that. Should we call those design flaws as well?

Maybe. Which version of python does your program run under? They have a lot of trouble maintaining compatibility between minor version numbers.

Further, everyone has a browser. Not everyone has python. Fewer still have the random version of python you need to run your program.
