D is the only language where I found I liked it *more* the more I used
it. Everything else has been the other way around: The more I use them,
the more I get frustrated with their downsides and limitations.

Heh :), well, regardless of my opinions of it though, the biggest
reason for JS's (unfortunate) success is not anything inherent about the
JS language itself, but simply because: for all the many people who want
to do a bunch of DHTML and such, it's the only option. (And yea, Java
applets and Flash were client-side, but those didn't actually enable
DHTML, AFAIK. Only JS could do that.)
