Make a statement on the above debate

What "flaws" don't you like that we could "debate" about? Also I think they are making good headway in the next version with destructures, iterators, factories...
I think if you want a debate you are going to need to start things off, after all this is your thread.

I would say that if else statement need to be improved, and if else statement will only pass if the if statement is true, i think that can be improved upon.

Client side validation is just a convenience for users and may save server use. It should never be trusted to exclude bad or tainted data from arriving at the server. So effective - yes and no - saves time and resources - but not effective wrt. security.
