I had to do a project once with JavaScript. I did not enjoy the experience. In my opinion, a language where you need a reference to tell true from false is a bad language. So maybe JavaScript is the JavaScript of languages.

Javascript is the javascript of JavaScript

It's only JavaScript if it is from the ECMA region in Europe. Otherwise it's just sparkling java...

I'm not a programmer but I took a class in JavaScript. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by reference, I don't recall that feature of the language. Can you explain?

A language reference (a manual). It’s not a language feature.
