You want to start the ball rolling?

[YCP1]

Well i think that JavaScript is a very versatile language and has many operations but i'm not a professional.

[diafol]

Any further insight like frameworks; use of ajax; polyfills,; use of canvas; graceful degradation etc?

[YCP1]

Sure

[YCP1]

Make a statement on the above debate

[stbuchok]

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.

[YCP1]

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.

[diafol]

Are you serious? How would you improve it? The whole point of it as I see it is that you need a true/false answer for a test. A 'maybe' doesn't sound like it makes sense. Well, for most cases anyway.

[stbuchok]

LOL, wow. Just wow. Can you give a circumstance where the if statement will pass when the statement is false?

how effective are JavaScript validation routines to reduce the number of errors that are made in data input?

[stbuchok]

What are you talking about? Do you mean how effective can JavaScript be in performing form validation?

[diafol]

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.
