Or maybe it has something to do with time-to-market for existing web apps, or other loserish things. No, can't be. You must be right. Especially because you know more than one language. After all, when you learn more languages, it makes your words more true!

I'm definitely more inclined to listen to a developer with knowledge of multiple languages than one who insists on stuffing Javascript everywhere.

Can you tell me why Microsoft and google trying to write either supersets or a javascript clone to replace javascript? Because that language is an issue itself. I don't know one good programmer who is saying that you need javascript to make real money or that language is awesome. This language is a bug nothing else.

Just because that tangential point can be made to appear valid in a different context, it does not mean that it is the proof to support your original argument. Sounds like you're primarily just upset about Javascript and/or front-end web technologies.
