About this episode

JavaScript is the world’s most misunderstood programming language. It is the most popular programming language in the world, while at the same time being one of the least liked. In JavaScript there is a beautiful, highly expressive language that is buried under a steaming pile of good intentions and blunders. The best nature of JavaScript was so effectively hidden that for many years the prevailing opinion of JavaScript was that it was an unsightly, incompetent abomination. JavaScript is a functional language. It is the first lambda language to be accepted by the mainstream.
