>Javascript isn't the only option. It is the most popular by far and hence the "de facto" language of the web. And javascript certainly isn't "standardized" in the sense you are writing. Do you know anything about web development, browser implementation of javascript and javascript itself? Javascript is no more "standardized" than SQL is standardized. Every RDBMs implements their own flavor of SQL just like browsers do with javascript.
This is nonsense. I am very familiar with web browsers. Javascript is standardized as ECMAScript:
Come on Drew, you know better than to do this here, regardless of how wrong someone is. If senior users set this kind of example how can we tell new ones not to?
> Come on Drew, you know better than to do this here, regardless of how wrong someone is.
But I wasn't wrong. I was right. But you wouldn't know that because your a gender studies major and not a CS major.
> If senior users set this kind of example how can we tell new ones not to?
And yet no flagging and no ban. How hypocritical of you. The guy instigated it and yet you banned the victim rather than the victimizer. Also senior? I've been using hacker news since the very beginning. Long before trash like you arrived daniel.
"Regardless of how wrong someone is" does not imply that anyone was wrong. It just says that even if they're wrong, other users must remain civil. That's why we use that wording.
A quick question. How proud are your parents that you moderate comments on a silly forum? Do they brag about your "career" during family gatherings on thanksgiving? Do you ever wake up and realize that you moderate comments for a living and get depressed/suicidal? Can you think of a more worthless existence that moderating comments? I commend you for not jumping in front of a train or jumping off a bridge. It takes real fortitude for someone so useless to keep going.

The "standard library" browsers implement is also standardized:

You're off your rocker.

Here is a direct quote from your comment:
>It's a bit too late for that. Bash is pretty much the de facto default shell for linux.
>ANSI C and C89 are the same thing. ANSI C is just another name for C89... Sigh...
Derp, I meant K&R C or pre-ANSI C. My mistake.
