I know you're being sarcastic, but Lua [1] is a good couter-example to my generalization as well.

[1] - http://lua-users.org/wiki/NumbersTutorial




I thought about Lua, but figured that javascript would be a more compelling disproof by counterexample (the common wisdom being that "nobody" uses Lua).

edit: yes, I just edited this comment quickly in succession.


Ironically, I use both quite heavily and still made the generalization :P


It's a funny old world.

The JavaScript one has stuck with me because it's another good example of the various camouflaged toe-stubbing obstacles left scattered about the design.
