I thought it said "Proposal: JavaScript Sucks" and was not surprised by the number of upvotes from HN

(Wipes away tears of laughter) I needed that! [1] [2]

[1] just got some bad news [2] all in all, I love working in JS when I have to, but I’ve worked in it long enough to know of at least very many of the foot guns.

Why couldn’t you just write a paragraph instead of using some citing system for formulating your sentence?

They're footnotes and are meant to be read as supplementary notes to the core message.

But we already have a way for supplementary notes, it's by using parentheses? Like this:

  Today I went for a walk (which I don't usually do), and I saw a squirrel.

Or have I been doing it wrong?

Well I'm trying to make it suck less.
