>the bigoted designer of JavaScript is about equality when it comes to human beings

Zero relevance to programming language design, makes your argument look very weak and emotionally-motivated. If you have to sink to bringing up the personal views of the language designer you're criticizing on an entirely unrelated matter to make a point, you don't really have a point.

>his own reputation and legacy

His legacy is quite fine, I love Brave browser and use it everyday and so are countless individuals. Not all of us are so fragile to the point of not using good software because its author just so happens to disagree on a completely irrelevant social issue.

As for Javascript, it's a terrible mistake but I would love seeing the ones you will make when you're forced to design and implement a language in 10 days.



I would have used Lua in 10 days. That's the point.

My reasons for not using brave have nothing to do with the author, and everything to do with not wanting to participate in cryptocurrency bullshit.
