Just the contrary.
Security is my main concern.
Just as the article mentions.
That "troubling history" of security holes in javascript
is in and of itself a much stronger conviction of wrongdoing
than I have provided. Calling it "bugs" is laughable at best.

On just the face of it - browsing to a web site, resulting
in code getting pushed to user's machine, executed on
user's machine is insecurity itself, no matter how hard
the promoters scream and shout that it is safe.
