JavaScript is Lovely

JavaScript is the democratic language of the internet. It supports all coding styles and all skill levels. There's nothing else like it, it's a magnificent little language with a pure soul and a few wonky bits around the edge. It has grown with us over the years, imposing no restrictions and letting us discover new ways of working almost every day.

I was lucky enough to pick up JavaScript in 1997, when it was first coming out in Netscape. Back then it was a weird little beast that no one quite knew what to do with. I've been using ever since, and I like to think we've grown together.
