Random. Because how something , which was done to satisfy minute needs (i wanna script some interactions, so lets do it quick), could grow into something mature without solid foundation? If conceptual flaw is there from the very beginning, how you can "fix" it? Here what author says about JS: JS had to “look like Java” only less so, be Java’s dumb kid brother or boy-hostage sidekick. Plus, I had to be done in ten days or something worse than JS would have happened Brendan Eich Apparently a missing systematical approach then strikes back, once it deployed, became popular and used by millions.. > Javascript, PHP, Ruby and Sendmail failing to grow?
