The proliferation of shitty Javascript is crushing the web. J

Javascript is designed from the ground up to enable bad developers to write shitty code. It's fine for alpha work, terrible for production.

It is possible to write beautiful, elegant, maintainable Javascript- but I've never seen a "designer" or even a "JavaScript programmer" write code like that. I have a job as a code mechanic because so many companies are built on woeful Javascript.
