    JavaScript was a mistake.

    And it went downhill from there.

      It was fine when it was contained to an actual web site instead of infecting desktop software too. To me, using JS for that purpose feels like using PHP to write a 3D video game.

        using PHP to write a 3D video game.

        Somewhere, someone just had a really bad idea.

          It’s a general language (though primarily adopted by web as backend engine), so you can basically expect people already have had this idea.

      Eh, scriptable content was probably fine.

      Techbros going ‘holy shit, we should make EVERYTHING a website!’ was the curse that doomed us.

        Pushing for bloated web apps instead of having optimized and perfectly functional websites was what killed it for me.
