Which is a fine decision if you have a programming language to do silly stuff on a personal geocities page, but a horrible one when you start using that language to handle serious data. Silently ignoring what's probably a bug is dangerous.

And that is, of course, what it was designed for.

JS is brilliant considering that it was created by one dude in 10 days. Nobody thought it would become nearly as important as it has become.

This is why I'm wary about all the quick and easy "temporary" solutions I'm building because I don't have the time to do it properly, and pushing hard to replace them with a more solid permanent one at any chance. I'm already mortified at the idea of someone proficient ever looking at any of it in the inevitable event of it becoming a long-term fixture.
