An apology since I was kinda a jerk the other day

A couple days ago, I posted a thing about how much I didn't like JavaScript, and in it, I took a dig at MBAs. A friend of mine pointed out that this is just not cool.

Yeah.

Taking a dig at a class of people is just wrong in general. And taking a dig at people because of something they spent time, energy, work, and study at? Something that they take pride in? Mocking an actual achievement?

Yeah, I was a jerk.

I'm sorry.

I suspect the real reason that they are using Javascript is that it's something that most web browsers can parse, and therefore available to most people who would subscribe to the challenge.

That would be my bet, also as it runs in web browsers and a large number of other places as well these days it is more and more a very useful language.
