What does that make javascript then?
It looks at first like Christianity or Judaism, but it somehow brings in funky zen concepts like lambdas and prototype chains. No one really took it seriously, then one day, it was just everywhere. No two implementations are quite the same, and most people do it horribly.
1. Everyone knows it a little, but few actually use it for much, and hardly anyone really understands it.
2. A lot of the ideas came out of old tribal warfare, and was only standardized relatively recently.
3. People who do it full time are WAY overpaid. ;)
My guess is that JavaScript is Zensunni: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zensunni#Zensunni.
