I was just thinking that if I were to teach programming to children, how would I engage their interest and enthusiasm? I'd bet most if not all have mobile phones and play games on them, so it would be an easy hook to get them into the subject.Although if mobile phone apps are a target, JavaScript has some merit as a light weight teaching language. But for more detailed, or advanced instruction it has some of the same drawbacks as Perl. Oh and you wouldn't want to use IE as a runtime as half your errors will probably still be in line 0 or 1.
