Javascript is in fact a nice language if it were not for the dom api discrepancies and bugs in browsers, which is somehow getting better now. Having developed using swing, gtk and the html/css/javascript stack, I find the later the best:
- development cycle is easy and the tools are there,
2 years ago I was cursing against it but now, with html 5, they're actually making developers life simpler. There is still the problem that you have to design the look of your application while using toolkits you don't have to but then there exists design that you can reuse and it might also be considered as a plus by some.

I generally agree that JS gets a bad rap, but there are problems with it that go beyond problems with any particular implementation - some part of the language itself are distressingly bad.
The exact behaviour of its semicolon insertion, in particular, is unforgivable.

I don't know. I never had to think about it while writing code. For me this means that it's rather decent.
Much, much, MUCH worse is how all numbers are half-float, half-integer (with limited precision, IIRC). That's just... unspeakable.
But, other than that, I rather like this little bugger.
