It’s also ridiculous to think it’s still the same language that was built in two weeks, like absolutely no work was done in it over time.
I’ll admit I don’t really know the history of the language between then and now. Please don’t tell me the crazy stuff was somehow added later.
If you don’t know the history, why are you so confidently talking about JavaScript being built in 2 weeks?
I’m familiar with the early history, I’ve dabbled in it in modern times, and of course I’ve seen all the ways it’s bad memed about ad-infinitum (and have to agree).
I didn’t really think I had to be able to write a book on it to say it doesn’t deserve the use it gets, and I don’t think it’s outrageous to imagine that there’s a connection with the hasty genesis. So, I mentioned that off-hand. If it’s actually unconnected my bad.
