No - it really is a terrible language. I could go on for a long (long) time about it.

And yes, Crockford is very convincing, but the fact remains that I have never seen a sanely written javascript project of any significant size.

You aren't looking, check out node.js.

Of course you would not be able to see all the internal apps that are being written in node.js. It's like the desktop developers who think that java doesn't exist because they don't see any java apps, when in fact java is all over the server, calculating your bills and your paychecks.

node.js is precisely the sort of thing I was talking about.
