Provided your dns isn't spoofed. And you're are not being targeted with
a mitm attack. And perhaps a few other things. But yeah, the address bar
can normally be trusted.
Except it doesn't, server side code is more universal.
I strongly disagree.
In server side there is vast amount of different software stacks build
top of C library and they are incompatible. Running PHP code top of
Java stack just doesn't work.
In client side, there has ongoing for several

I agree. I filter too crap away. Javascript itself is not problem.

What is not a good thing is to have just one standard. That's never
good.
And this is current status. Apple, Canonical, Google and Microsoft
pushing their own competing front end ecosystems. And there is still
HTML/JS which is portable.

I've used it, and there is too much hype about it. It has it's uses, but
can be replaced with other non javascript technologies, at least from

Great conversation...
Somehow you guys spend all your time whining about complicated deep
technologies like Java / Javascript -- condemning them for their nasty
complexity -- but at the same time using the conversation to hurt people
trying to build something simpler.
Who do you work for?
If any of these end up being better than JS,
I don't see any reason not to use them.
I think everyone of these are better if you don't care about portability.
I prefer to use a desktop application for those instead
of running them from my browser. Just saying.
There isn't much new desktop

It is not meant to hurt anyone.
Optimal complexity is when there is nothing you like to add and nothing
you like to remove.
It is just that sometimes happens event called disruptive innovation.

You tried to break chmod. Please

Ok. I will unscribe myself for.. eternity. Because
I obviously have hurt feelings. Especially yours, Theo.
I did not intentionally do that. And I have _never_ bashed
you. And I actually never got what makes you so upset.
I'm enthusiast to tech without religion.

I'm GLAD that finally we have Javascript. At last, we have language and

The thing is that web is more than web sites. It is also full of
