Are we the js detractors just the purists playing in the corner while the rest 
of the world moves on and does cool interactive jsy things?

If js is such a shit show, has it been the source of major security breaches as 
opposed to just being a pain in our collective behinds?

PS the internet on Amtrak is great: travel civilized and bill out while you're 
rolling along!

Everybody's "compiling" to javascript, because if you can run javascript you can run anywere there's a browser (which is everywhere right?).

A nice combo with lispy roots is Clojurscript: https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript

Got some reasonable traction on github for good reason.

I never learned Javascript because it seemed too unreasonable/confused. Maybe it's me ;-)

        I've always avoided it when possible because, while the advertising
is "write once, run anywhere there's a browser", the reality is usually more
like, "write once for every browser in the world, attempt heuristics to
identify which version of the script we're actually using today, then spend
approximately eternity trying to debug anything non-trivial because it fails
differently and often non-reproducably from one computer to the next". And
the Javascript engine seems to be the most common cause of horrible browser
performance, memory leakage, and instability.

        I do dynamic Web stuff insofar as possible server-side in PHP or the
like, because my Web server isn't an unknown moving target, and UI stuff as
much as possible in HTML/CSS. And it's my general policy that it's better to
change how I want the UI to work than to implement it in Javascript.

        But at least it isn't Flash.
