It doesn't sound rude to me, it sounds like what I used to see on assignments I got in high school.

I've long noticed that you can tell when new school semesters start by the type and volume of questions posted here and elsewhere.

And you managed to tunnel out into the Lounge ... for what reason, now? In keeping with all my posts thus far today, I have to post this question. Why did you stop here? Keep tunneling on into the Soapbox.
(This is actually a veiled attempt to reiterate my plea to stop responding to SPAM in QA by posting anything that is a reaction. Again, my reason is two-fold. One, there is no reward in acknowledging a spam. Two, the whole forum, as you say, is becoming a queue for thumby nonsense which every doofuss with a spam agenda takes as being real decorum, thus humanizing the mindset.)

new people join n need n instant fix to things....
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes the smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bell
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to hell
And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper flying away from you
Oh look out world, take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
Said this is the road
This is the road to hell

I subscribe to the CodeProject daily newsletter (keep up the good work). In today's update, there was a link to an article, Why Every Developer Should Learn Javascript? [^]
In the article, there is a line "Where as most languages require a bit of knowledge and programming understanding, Javascript does not." Really? So, someone with no understanding whatsoever can open up a web page and start programming?
I'd love to use his website ...

Try viewing the source of the websites you visit. I think you'll find that's precisely what's happening!

Type* the following in your browser's navigation text box (where you normally type the URL):
javascript:alert(navigator.appName)<ENTER>
You are now a programmer even though *you* do not know anything.
You really did just program the computer but you have not had to learn anything. 
That's the power of JavaScript!!!
<ENTER> denotes the place where you press the <ENTER> key.
*you* is not you, but the person who knows nothing about programming. 
*NOTE: If you copy the code and paste it, then the browser will remove the important javascript: protocol and it won't work. It's a safety feature.

Totally awesome.
As long as people think you're a ninja, then you are a ninja*. 
*Please replace _ninja_ with any other noun that you would like to be (engineer, dev, etc).

How does your example differ from copy/paste of any other language (into an appropriate environment). If, for example, someone bought VS2017 and copied/pasted C# code, does that make them a programmer (as per your description)?
And it doesn't have to work. A bad programmer, but programmer non-the-less, by your scenario.
And a "Hello World!" to you, too!

No compiling. No special tools -- web browser is now an extension to the human. 
I mean if you have to install Visual Studio that's a pretty big deal and will preclude some from becoming developers. There should be no barriers to entry.
Yes, I'm being facetious.  As I was in my original post.

It's a study in clumsiness, not a programming language. What would you need programming skills for?
But, as I can read in the same article, it can be used for most things you could use other languages for. Really? Why don't we just use those other languages and finally can do all things we used to do again?
Sounds a lot like the bragging of the PHP Hobbits. They also claimed to be able to do EVERYTHING with PHP. Only until you told them what they definitely could not do. Then PHP magically was not a programming language anymore, just a scripting language.
Why do those guys stumble from one useless interpreter to the next?

Precisely.

Every article bragging about the awesomeness and omnipotence of a "certain programming language" ( ) is essetially someone's opinion.
Although in mine, the world is a better place without that language.

From your post, I clearly ascertain that your favorite native programming language is Huberis++
