Nope, I use it because I love it. The language is way better than Java in my opinion (and I have really good experience with both, backend and frontend). Also, telling Python developers to change Python to be like Ruby (or vice versa) is the same as what was suggested here, and the answer is: no, no, and no! Just because one person doesn't like a language isn't good enough reason to make such a preposterous change. The mere fact that there are so many people coding in JavaScript and not complaining to completely modify it as suggested shows that the suggestion is one based on a dislike of the language. That's fine, just don't use the language. If you're forced to use a language that you don't like, that's a separate issue you should fix. I'm not forced to use languages I don't like because I don't let myself be in such a situation. On Fri, Jan 1, 2016 at 10:26 AM, Brendan Eich <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks, Bob.
