Better yet, let's go back to using ALGOL or something. Imagine how many reusable components we could have mustered up. We'd best stop all this innovation right now before it's too late.

Hmm, browsers don't use ALGOL though, better stay with JavaScript.

Yes, but if the old geeks had been arguing like you did, the browsers would probably only support whatever language was popular on the server-side at that time.
