Posts like this remind me how much JavaScript could benefit from something like Lisp's quasiquote. JSX is a terrible creation but templating in JS is pretty unpleasant without quotation operators. That said, I think Mithril's 'm' function did it the best of all libraries I have seen.

Yup. The Correct Answer™ was and remains Scheme. Acknowledged by all parties involved (and us baffled bystanders).

The negative consequences of JavaScript rival both \0x00 terminated strings and NULL.

I've never forgiven Brendan Eich or Marc Andreessen.

More positively, Marc did name the HTML's image tag IMG. Maybe by some cosmic measure, his contributions balance out.
