It doesn't make sense to hold that against JavaScript.

I don't -- but it is unreasonable to post JavaScript code that
utilizes jQuery and then say that in order to write the same code in RPG
it would take a whole lot more code. The point is that in utilizing
jQuery a lot of JavaScript code is hidden from the programmer and, as a
side issue, the programmer ends up *never* having to learn how to do those
(the things that jQuery can do) for themselves. Do I hold that against
jQuery? No.

The real point is that just because jQuery is available doesn't
make the language, itself, easier -- it only makes it so that the
JavaScript programmer doesn't have to know everything about how to code
DHTML.

Sincerely,
