When JavaScript was first released, it was a god-send. The alternative was vbscript and if you think JavaScript is bad…

Very true. I remember vbscript. I still have to write some occasionally. What’s funny is that powershell gets all the attention & security applied to it - but vbscript likely keeps its flaws in the name of backwards compatibility. I’m betting vbscript is a huge attack vector just waiting for some major exploitation that leads to its removal or being severely gimped.

I assume vbscript is not Visual Basic? That was my first thought and I find that quite easy to grasp
