There are a whole lot of people who think that the web is the future of computers and that everything is going to run in your browser and everything on the internet is going to use the web.

Those people are _new to the game_, they don't understand the technology, or how it evolved, and they most definitely have no f'ing clue where it's going.

I laughed when he said Javascript, because I thought it was a joke. I can see what he means tho, at least in the limited context of this topic "For beginners", it's a fine way to teach basic programming concepts. But if you aren't building a website, you should not be writing in web languages.

You know what's a good teaching language for beginners? Anything they can actually use 5 or 10 years later so they haven't wasted months of their lives learning something with an incredibly limited practical scope.

Languages are not lessons. Hello World is a lesson, and it works in any language.
