Because before one can produce a piece of code, you'll need to know the 
syntax.
I don't know exactly how Javascript works, to be honest. How on earth 
would I write a piece of code in it? First learn the syntax, then you 
can write something.

Perhaps not, but maybe very interesting.

I'm aware of that!

Yeah, that's correct. But sometimes I feel a bit old all of a sudden, 
especially when I see that many youngsters are much more capable of 
programming something than I am.

But to start learning Javascript?
As a matter of fact I never liked programming. I wrote many Unix shell 
scripts once. And I did some Pascal. What I liked was writing complex 
batch files for 4DOS, and I still do for the TC/LE command processor 
from JP software. And I liked programming BASIC. But that's a long time 
gone.
But those were the only exceptions I really liked programming.

OK, that's good to know.

Well, thanks for the stern warning.
But anyway, I got my ancient Javascript running!
And I'm quite pleased with it.
