    Fuck JavaScript in all its forms.

      JavaScript was never fit for purpose even in a browser. We could’ve had Python or Scheme in the browser instead, but nooooo, Brandon Eich had to be fucking incompetent.

        There was an older alternative with PS and Tcl from Sun. I don’t know if I would like that more.

        What are you talking about, giving one of the only programming languages where binary sizes matters a tiny standard library is a great idea!

      Good news: there’s been talk to having python be part of the DOM.

      I believe chromium has been working on it but no real thought on when this will happen.
