Oh Javascript. This has been said so many times before, but why, oh why, has the world converged on this particular language?
Why aren't there saner alternatives to Javascript in browsers? We have so many languages at our disposal, why choose Javascript? Why don't people realize that web programming is not great because of Javascript but despite Javascript?
We are bound to Javascript on the web because browsers, for whatever reason, don't support anything else. But we don't have to make matters worse by dragging this weirdo language unto the rest of the programming world.
But who am I kidding, AppleScript may be one of the few languages actually worse than Javascript.
