Just got a message on Facebook from a friend, asking me about getting into coding. A few seconds later, I see his status:

"Where do I download Javascript?"

I'm going to help this man.

    Tell him ES5 is old hat and he needs to download the ES6 runtime. And to not forget to install Java as a dependency. Java + ECMA Script runtime = JavaScript. ;)

    I actually directed him toward python. He was wanting to analyze survey data.

    If he wants to display survey data in a nice GUI direct him back to the web, I do not envy someone getting one of the cross platform GUI toolkits working...
