Names of programming languages are case-insensitive in normal use, and 
also in abnormal use at large, except in you-know-what. So saying “there 
is no javascript” means denying the existence of the thing that most 
people call JavaScript, or javascript; it’s a different thing that by 
saying that, you-know-who tries to confuse people—making a statement 
that is simple and clear and trivially wrong, pretending to have made a 
statement about something “deeper”.

Not to mention making factual mistakes in his pointless lectures. It is 
impossible, and unnecessary, to know which of the mistakes are 
intentional, meant to mislead people and trigger argumentation, and 
which are caused by his ignorance.

This thread has had its share of those mistakes.
