Unbelievable that this is voted to the top on Hacker News. The comment literally gives not one concrete example or reason by JavaScript is "bad". I'd expect more from you all here.
This happens every time a Javascript topic comes up - hundreds of comments just regurgitating the same "Javascript is bad" memes. It's bad enough that's there's no real point in reading the comments on JS submissions since there's rarely discussion about the article.
