That website is totally whack. If you're going to write a manifesto -- and post it on its own domain -- you should at least have something coherent to say that doesn't make you sound like a total amateur.
"Because Ruby looks prettier" is not serious argument. Also I really question the lack of accountability -- does the author have a real name? Whenever I write stuff in the public sphere I use my real, public name. This notion that it's ok to be anonymous "just because" strikes me as very immature and frankly a little bit entitled. Just my 2¢. Glad you posted it, gave me a good laugh. -Jason On Nov 3, 2014, at 10:48 AM, Alejandro Exojo <[email protected]> wrote: > El Sunday 02 November 2014, Jonathan Blasquez escribió: >> Came across this website that is trying to get another langauge to replace >> javascript.
