JavaScript: the language people love to hate and hate to love.

Or is it “JavaScript: not the language we need, but the language we deserve.”

What makes this language loathed and loved so much around the world?

Maybe it’s because it’s a lot of different ideas put into one language.

• High-level
• Single-threaded
• Garbage-collected
• Interpreted or JIT Compiled
• Prototyped-Based
• Multi-parasdigm
• Dynamic Language
• with a non-blocking event loop
• And a partridge in a pear tree

Ok, I made the last one up, but watch the video for a good explanation of the “assembly language of the web.”
