mmm... I am surrounded by Java guys who worked with SWING (gone and forgotten) JSP and STRUTS (same story). They talk about the beauty of Java 8 and that they are waiting for Java 9. I wish I could tell them about this article, because out there plenty of people still treat JS as a toy

> because out there plenty of people still treat JS as a toy

actually I think it is. that so much stuff comes out for it is a clear factor that we are not there yet. I also think that we either get a good language to compile to js (scalajs, elm, clojure) or that WASM will be stable and supports the DOM, before we reach the "JS endgame" (a stable technology which will have backwards compatible stuff for at least 5 years)
