and people wonder why we say PHP is a meme

Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
You don't really have a choice when it comes to front end web dev, JS is almost the only option for programming languages that run in the browser.
Yes, there's a lot of lock-in with JavaScript. The first step would be designing a Python-based browser or whatever and getting people to use it. I know less about PHP.
That was more of a "why if you had the option". I've use JavaScript too for exactly this reason.
