Isn't it worthwhile to hint at the uncommon spelling of the word
"javascript" (at least)?  Whether different ECMAScript implementations
are different languages or dialects or just implementations might be
debatable, but Thomas 'PointedEars' Lahn elaborates on that in the
foreword of his ECMAScript Support Matrix[1], which he often links in
his posts (either the signature or the body), and which is a good read, IMO.

Anyhow, one might dislike Thomas' manner(s), but as far as I can assess
it, his technical competence wrt. ECMAScript/JavaScript programming is
very mature, and as such I consider him a valuable regular of this
newsgroup (as well as some others).  And even if one may regard his
quest ("there is no javascript") as futile, I don't consider Thomas'
delusional.
