This is a poorly written opinion piece from someone who isn&#x27;t  a JavaScript developer. Most arguments he makes have no facts to back them up. Many of his claims are made from a position of obvious ignorance: many Fortune 500 companies do in fact use JavaScript, and an incredible number of startups do. To claim otherwise is just ridiculous. He claims that games could never use JS and yet WebGL has already given us this.<p>So what industry-favourite, startup-embraced, wildly popular language does this author advocate?<p>Smalltalk.<p>Seriously?
