Why people hate JavaScript?

C and C++, even FORTRAN can be written in a very clean, easy to understand and maintainable way. If you can't read someone else's source code because of the way it's formatted, it's their fault and not the fault of the language.

I've seen plenty of spaghetti javascript.

My gripe about javascript is in part that all the browsers support it in significantly different ways, and that a great deal of JS is written by web designers who really don't understand computer programming.

I agree in which gives it a bad rep, but also vendors are at fault with this. because the web is freedom and they wanted to claim it. it which cause a big rip. remember the web gave us so much in the programming world. also Php and non-python(i like python)language can be written very clean, easy to understand and maintainable way. but some people use python because that reason mostly. which should be the only case. sorry Guido
