Some people do know javascript. Implementations differ, but are getting more standardized as time goes on. Without the DOM and browser environment APIs, it gets a lot simpler. Do you think fewer people actually know javascript than actually know C++?

C++ is a bad example. C itself is mindblowinly complex, and C++ layers more on top of that. A better example might be Python, or possibly Lua. Languages that have been designed, rather than grown organically, unlike C++/C/Javascript.

C++ was grown organically? I think Bjarne Stroustrup would disagree.

By that I'd mean the way more and more complexity has been layered on over the years.

Of course some people do know Javascript inside out, but how many?
