Javascript was made to be a target language ... Brendan Eich is a supporter of the BYOJ ( Build Your Own Javascript) movement

That's because he knows how much his JS sucks as a language to program into.

Which is a good thing, because just about every language sucks, but some languages realize it less than others. :-)

Zing!

Yes, JS sucks. It's also getting less sucky, because it won't go away. Kind of obvious at this point.
