Why didn't people boycott Javascript

when it became known as a hacked-together loosely typed piece of shit?

But I am boycotting javascript indirectly using Livescript and Elm for my projects

if we can kill flash we can kill javashit too.

I took up JavaScript in a show of solidarity for my fellow faggot basher. I fucking hate queers.

queers

*faggots

I fucking hate both faggots and Javashit.

too popular with the epic webapps crowd maybe

both compile to javascript

Welcome to the putrid world of politics.

Until BotNet or NetDingo or whatever shitty browser works well enough with a better language (we know Eich won't let ShitZilla support anything but his awful language) web designers are simply stuck forever to suffer under the harsh rule of JS. I don't mind though, let them rot in their own filth.

I'd already used `faggot' in my post and didn't want to come off as repetitious.

Webapps are fucking epic. I can make the another shitty tip calculator or whatever once in javashit, then embed it in an executable for each platform and sell it on every last app store I can find with minimum effort. I'm planning on ripping off other apps and games and sticking cockloads of advertising on them. I'm going to be so fucking rich that I'm going to hire Eich to run my super PAC that works to get fags and bitches out of technology and in to concentration camps and\or kitchens, respectively.

Sure, I could just write, say, a scheme interpreter to do this for me, but I'd have to write it in Java, Objective-C, and whatever Windows phone prefers. Just too much work.

Does Eich have any say whatsoever in what Mozilla does? I thought they kicked him out because he made their UI designers feel uncomfortable.

>>14
This is what I was thinking too

>>14,15
They didn't kick him out, he just had to step down as CEO. While the circumstances are ridiculous, it's understandable; if your CEO generates bad press, he's not a good CEO. These people wouldn't have shut up any time soon.

>>16

They didn't kick him out

He was pressed by members in mozzila to step down, I would call that ``kicking''

These people wouldn't have shut up any time soon

They would... they would

>>17
``Kick out'' suggests Eich was fired. He was not. I actually wouldn't be surprised if they'd put up a dummy CEO and keep Eich in control.

They would... they would

Not before creating weeks of PR bullshit, which would have hit Mozilla hard. Firefox is already losing to Chrome, the last thing they need are idiots calling for a boycott.

>>17
At least one of them resigned, so I guess if you count that as shutting up, that works.

>>18
I don't know about the dummy CEO aspect. It's been asked in other discussions why they didn't just put the guy in a tech lead position. The guy's qualifications are mostly killing the wetechnical, so just have him do technical things, for fuck's sake. The guy invented javashit, right? So put him somewhere where he can invent something else. You don't need to be CEO to do that.

The proposed answer to that question has been ``Maybe he's just not willing to be anything less than top dog.'' In that case, I doubt he'd be willing to be puppet master, after having put in a bid for the chair in front of the curtain.

As to the PR bullshit, it's here anyway, and I welcome it. When I download Firefox (well, when I used to download Firefox, back before it started sucking) I wanted a browser. I didn't want to download a list of opinions and political stances. If Mozilla's core focus isn't on writing a fucking browser, if Mozilla is knowingly making technically suboptimal choices just so they can sing Kumbaya, then fuck them. I'd recommend Seamonkey or Midori to people now, if anyone asked.

Yeah, you hear that, Mozilla? You just pissed off the wrong guy! I don't have any friends, family, and I don't talk to my coworkers about anything but how much our jobs suck, but if I did, we would be downvoting your facetumblrs SO HARD right now.

Why didn't people boycott gravitation when it became known that Albert Einstein was a Jew?

Have at it, goyim.
