That Javascript is the greatest programming lanuage

First thing I'd like to clear up - my opponent appears to be arguing against another language, Java. I argue for Javascript. They are ridiculously different. See http://kb.mozillazine.org... Now I'd like to clear up a few myths surrounding machine code: 1) Every central processing unit has a different set of instructions, known as an instruction set (http://en.wikipedia.org...). Therefore code programmed for one central processing unit will not usually work on any other computer in the world, unless it has the same central processing unit. There is no common standard for machine code language, unlike Javascript (http://www.ecma-international.org...). Thus while all the manufacturers use "machine code," in reality it is very different and no one machine code instruction set has widespread adoption. Using a vendor-neutral programming language such as Javascript overcomes this limitation. Thus any one "machine code" is actually less widely adopted than Javascript. 2) If you do a Google search for "Javascript language" (again, I do not argue for Java, which is far less supported) you get in fact 85.3 million results (Note there is no need for quotes in this search because the two need not appear as "Javascript language" put together for the page to be about the Javascript language). If my opponent had done a proper search for "machine code," (using quotes because "machine" and "code" on different parts of the page yields some very irrelevant results), he would have only 679,000 results. Therefore Javascript is over 125 times more supported than machine code. I also note that very few of the results for "machine code" are tutorials, discussion forums or help-desks - indeed, all of them seem to be technical articles and irrelevant material - I particularly like result number 18. Machine code is not, as my opponent asserts, more talked about. 3) Thanks to my opponent for conceding ease of use. Wise move. 4) The reason why programming languages were built on top of machine code is because machine code can actually do very little. Basic math, memory calls and signals to various chips on the motherboard. That's pretty much it (some vendors may also have a threading functionality). No loops, no OOP, no functions even. Just read memory, write memory and so on. If we are to measure power in terms of what it can do, Javascript clearly wins the day. While it is true Javascript is translated into machine code, it could in theory be translated to anything and still have the same functionality - it's not because of machine code, which requires thousands of lines of code to even just wrap a function! If it weren't for other programming languages we might as well still be using punch cards - machine language doesn't do anything more. Thus Javascript is actually more powerful. 5) I will concede speed, although since most programmers are sloppy, I think the advantage in speed gained by using a direct language over an optimally processed language are minimal and thus it's not really noticeably faster in almost every case, due to the superior processing power. Thus in fact Javascript, not machine code, wins out in 4/5 points and is thus an inferior language (if it can even be considered a single "language").
