Just Because Some CEO Said So

Graham Lee bringing down the hammer:

Fundamentally I fear a world in which programmers think JavaScript is acceptable. Partly because JavaScript, but mostly because when a language is introduced and people avoid it for ages, then just because some CEO says all future websites must use it they start using it, that’s not healthy. Objective-C was introduced and people avoided it for ages, then just because some CEO said all future apps must use it they started using it.
