Yes, I vote JavaScript too.

Man who votes against JavaScripts is probably designer not coder.
Still, the question remains: why, o why?

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I'd like to propose making that a global ban!

Outlaw everything except machine code. Languages are for wimps.

He wants to outlaw JavaScript. Crazy as it may seem, he has my vote!

So...the three votes on the petition are you, Mycroft, and jgkenhe?
You have a long way to go... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Still a good three weeks to go, have a little faith!

Can you even outlaw javascript on a web-based petition? Doesn't that break causality in some way?
|

My specific suggested list of languages to restrict from use, and phase out includes:
Javascript, Ruby, and Java.
Amen! Got my sig!

Absolutely agree with petition creator in terms of real outlaw of IT poop! But MY LIST is different:
1. JavaScript
2. Python
3. PHP
These are most ugly, error prone and dangerous languages in IT!
|
|
|
|
|
I am curious, what are your alternative!
|
|
|
|
|
Why, VBScript, of course!
Sincerely,

OK, got you! I think C# could be good replacement for all of 'em.
Web scripting (ASP and "browser language") DOES NOT mean language cannot be "statically typed". Quite opposite: as soon as your code reaches 10KLOC, you strictly need some control above that! I spit on display seeing ugly JS code, which idiot-web-developer made working in FireFox only! And tons of errors "property/element not found" - just because it was dynamic JavaScrap.
As a bonus we have already written library (Framework) to have really rich applications!

I like your list and Ruby, and Java.
|
|
|
|

hehe  Why?
Ruby is like OOP Perl. It's dynamic and also has its own niche. May be not for serious Web-development, but for scripting - why not?
Java - hell knows... I have no sympathy for this simplistic language, but at least it's OOP and allows mediocres write acceptable programs. It's not evil, definitely

If I start a petition to ban elepants and sunshines in the lounge, will CPers migrate to stack overflow? 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If only he would add PHP he'd have my vote.

How are you going to outlaw protected speech? Code is expression/speech, pretty much already established. If you don't like a language, then don't use it. If your job requires it, find a better job for yourself, let those of us who would like it, have that job.
As an aside, who came up with this **STUPID** idea, anyway? The FBI?

Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool.
I gave him a glass of water.

Coulda put some salt on the rim too.

I hope he returns the glass.
