Is Javascript really that good? Some people dislike
prototypical
inheritance, it seems that jQuery prefers to use wrappers instead
(that's a kind of suboptimal architecture). Also, Google had some
complains about Javascript flaws (for example primitive types don't
allow high performance available in Java / C#), suggesting to replace it
with something else.. Although having common clientside / serverside
codebase is nice thing, for sure.
Vanilla javascript is not good, and anything complex built on top
vanilla javascript will sink if it gets too large, or was built
withouth strong guidelines.
People has started writting frameworks for javascript, so nobody has
to write vanilla javascript. Stuff like
http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/
But I have not seen anything really big written in javascript (except
perhaps the ofuscated version of Gmail js).
For his fans, Javascript is Batman, and the Internet is Gothan. In
the last 5 years javascript has promised to solve all world problems,
forever, and and delivered on it.
The thing with Javascript is that it has not changed, what is evolving
is how people use it, and is becoming better and better and better at
a impresive speed.
The true test for the javascript power will come on the next years,
wen people start building complex thing (using framerworks like
backbone) and success... or not. I think the future for js is not
written jet, and to be honest I am very excited because the latest
developments are scary awesome.
