I am just getting into JavaScript after learning HTML and CSS. What I've learned is I didn't know how widespread JavaScript is. It is UNIVERSAL language of coding which spans across endless boundaries of the technological world of programming. Thanks for the video.

First of all thank you for putting all those videos online. Very, very helpfull they are. God bless you for that.

As for JS ...
It is wide spread OK and easy to start but that does not make it any better. And here comes the second point in your list - Flexibility. I think what you call flexibility in most cases means you have to apply hacks rather than strict logical rules in order to achieve things.


And this language has to be learnt three times - once you have to learn the rules governing the language and then you have to put just as many efforts to learn the rules governing the weird exceptions and then yet again to learn how those exceptions are put into creative prospective.

For the third point well, all object oriented languages have the same feature but enforced far more clearly.

For the forth, there can not be anything more confusing - functions, objects, what is it in the end ?? It is like you are saying (well, not you personally) - this color is green but actually it is blue. Again, in other languages objects are objects and functions are functions. And nobody can say they are hampered by this. I can't imagine any reason why JS was made like this.


And sorry to say but closers are the biggest and very confusing hack in order to achieve what in other languages is clearly defined - namespaces.


Overall - For heaven sake why in the world ??? I don't think it would lose absolutely nothing if it were made "normal".

I think my favorite thing is that it's relatively easy to get up and going. You want to try something out? Just open the console you're using to watch this youtube video on.
