JavaScript: A Beautiful Language

JavaScript! Perhaps the most misunderstood computer language, so few truly understand its enormous expressive power. Unlike Java, C, C#, and many others, it is, at heart, a functional language. Sadly, this is an endless source of frustration for so many programmers. They pound away with an imperative style, in a language based on lambda calculus, forever hammering square pegs into round holes. Only when JavaScript's functional nature is grasped can its beauty truly be appreciated, and the road to mastery begin.
