why do people hate javascript
@Kirschn As someone with only minor coding experience it's inefficient and languages that are more generally useful can generally do the job
@Kirschn Oh interesting, I mean most things I've used for are now included in HTML 5 so from my perspective I'd rather exclusively work in HTML because it's more intuitive as a novice and I know that browsers work better with that generally.
