Even worse is when the accepted solution is either deprecated or no longer works in future versions of the language/framework used. This is where Stack Overflow's "archival" nature seems to stop working, and where answers based on upvotes would work better.
I don't doubt your interesting bit of trivia, but I couldn't find anything online about. Do you have a source for this? I would certainly love to read more about it.
Being a glasses user I can definitely understand the peace of mind part. However, I find that I rarely seem to break or otherwise damage my glasses. Maybe it's just me.
Indeed. And I should probably have clarified in my comment that this method works for tasks for which you are too lazy, bored, or unmotivated to do, but you know that you could do them if you put your mind to it.

This reminds me of the "submit your own PR if you want this feature so bad" mentality that I see on a fair few open source projects. For most people, this isn't feasible. Creating a new programming language, let alone one that could one-up JavaScript any time soon, would be a difficult task. I think people like to point out the flaws of JavaScript because there isn't really a major alternative, it is the de facto web language.
Out of interest, does anyone know if new COBOL specs add any major language features or are they just low-profile security fixes and things.
