+Programming in JavaScript.
+
+---
+
+Despite my attraction to lower level programming, I sometimes find myself programming in JavaScript.
+It's a decent workhorse language that powers most of the modern web.
+
+Its position as The Language of the Web makes it incredibly useful to know as a modern-day programmer, because sooner or later you'll probably find yourself in a spot where you'll say "gee, I wish I had a way to cobble together a quick and dirty tool with a UI."
+
+It's the one language I keep coming back to, because it's the one language I cannot replace with something that follows [the Philosophy][page:tag/programming].
+(No, WebAssembly is not an option.
+Have you ever actually tried using it?)
+
+I don't love its design.
+I think [Lua][page:tag/lua] is a much more elegant programming language.
+But I like it for what it can do for me out of the box.
+
+---
+
+This website purposefully avoids using JavaScript where possible though, because it would be a waste of your computer's resources.
+Plain HTML is perfectly fine for most of its functionality.
