I moved from JavaScript to C#. Consciously, though over a decade ago. I moved because I was building systems where felt that strong typing would have been a benefit, not a burden. I've not changed my mind. I'm totally sold on type inferencing (var, F# etc...), but when it comes to all-out dynamic languages... seems like you'd have to write a *lot* of tests to cover what the compiler does for you otherwise.
But for all its wacky prototype-based inheritance and === equality craziness, JS clearly has its place, and I think you'd be mad to overlook it in your arsenal, in the same way that developers that shun SQL should be taken outside and slapped. So I'm not sure I'd lance that boil yet. > JS is still ugly to me no matter what the hipsters says >> > You're too kind. It's an ulcerating boil on the history of computer science. *Greg K*
