Douglas Crockford himself says so !

http://www.crockford.com/javascript/javascript.html

I have been working with JS only for the past few months, with jQuery and ExtJS. Soon will get to work on Secha Touch.

I find Javascript to be highly enlightening.. What is your opinion ?

Crockford himself says that the language is not without its flaws. What flaws bother you the most ? How do you overcome them ?
