After starting out with Ruby, I now prefer Javascript to Ruby for a number of reasons, not least performance, clarity, ubiquity, and expressive power.

Sometimes I think the detractors are more upset with their own lack of facility in Javascript relative to their proficiency in something else, than with flaws in the language itself.

A penny for every "accidental global variable" and "ugly {".
