No, but you must be among the few not getting the joke or not being stuck-up to see that IT IS a joke post.
I mean, "it's downright insulting to put words in the mouth of someone like Hemingway to try and make yourself feel better."

>Javascript is not a better language than others (in fact it's a far worse language)
Even if that was true (which is highly debatable, because a language is not just it's syntax, or even it's semantics), it doesn't have anything to do with the post (besides it being about Javascript).
