An Ode To Strange JavaScript

A head melting game I discovered a few years ago.

Shared by a solid dude I worked with at the time. Plenty of people joke about the despair of using JavaScript. Erling Ellingsen decided that it would be fun to gamify it. Because you didn't have enough suffering, right? 😋

Welcome to the weird, the bizarre, the frustrating, the strange, the JavaScript: https://alf.nu/ReturnTrue.

Even after some years there are still things that surprise me.

It did seem cool to hate on JavaScript for a period. So why did it then become the backbone of the web? That could potentially become a great question for philosophers some day. Some interesting statistics: https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cp-javascript to view.

Today, things have matured to some degree and we should be grateful for that. Evolution of all things can be at times, strange.

I mean who doesn't love Flash or SilverLight.
