Is JavaScript the only &quot;language&quot; you&#x27;ve programmed in? Personally, I prefer a language that doesn&#x27;t require large frameworks and libraries that are here today, gone tomorrow for basic language constructs like name spacing or library references. Personally, I prefer not having &quot;engines&quot; silently fail on something as fundamental as syntax errors, causing bugs that can&#x27;t be reproduced or tracked down. Want syntax checking? You guessed it! Another Framework&#x2F;Library&#x2F;Tool to learn or build! Not horrendus? Good Enough? JavaScript is the language of Satan&#x27;s incompetent stepchild.
