You do realize that thousands of web authors have copied and pasted javascript code to their web pages to get things like dynamic menus, hover effects and form validation on their web pages. These people are javascript authors too and they would probably not be able to get those things running on their pages if javascript was as unforgiving as C is. But you might be right that the number of C authors is still greater given that C has been around for 23 years longer. But I wouldn't actually be surprised if the number of javascript authors was greater anyway, there are a lot of people out there creating web pages. In any case, javascript has reached audiences that C never will, which was my point. / Jonas
