JS and why it sucks

JSON was not designed to be easy to parse. If you want something like that, try Tag-Length-Value encodings.

Javascript is shit because of the ideas that drove its creation. Javascript actually wanted to be the complete opposite of java, and made sure that when the user gave it an unexpected input it would try to figure out what they were trying to say and spit out a result. Although a good idea, it has made typecasting, input handling, and error handling universally iffy. Sometimes javascript just runs with stuff and you don't even know if there is an error. I don't care how many "but omg strict javascript" fags come into the thread, I want web asm and I want it now.
