Perpetuating terrible JavaScript practices

I see <£5000 per annum, surviving on a part time job and benefits. I can't even afford a decent IT course.

My father (who used to teach IT) doesn't see the point in my learning to code, especially C.

Several of my friends work in IT. A few months ago one of them was asking me for advice on C.

Last night I started learning js. I wondered how to reverse a text string.... 60 seconds later:

  var str="supercalifragilisticexpealidotious", rts="", l=str.length;
  while(l-->0)
    rts+=str[l];
  print(rts);

Thank you very much for posting the article. I feel much better now.
