@spraycan. You seem to have a lot of energy / enthusiasm and that's great. You're passionate about your coding. But please understand that some of us have been around the block more than you have when it comes to programming. When we say that JavaScript is beautiful maybe you should ask what the secret is rather than simply railing so heavily against it.
And believe me, Java is no prize. It actually pains me that Processing was written in Java (rather than say, NodeBox which was written in Python) but I do understand why Ben and Casey chose Java and I do support Processing. (...even taught a course in Processing at NYU's Interactive Telecommunication Program before moving out of New York.) Given your little jaunt about "languages" vs. "scripts" you really ought not to hold up Java, which runs on a Virtual Machine, as your idol of code machismo. Either use original C or assembly; do your own garbage collection.
