I mostly do Javascript stuff, and my favorite thing is the ease of getting started.

  • I don't need a compiler or an IDE to create a new project, I just need a browser and a text editor. Worst case, I can do meaningful work to create an app in Notepad.
  • HTML/CSS is a much more pleasant GUI than the Swing I learned in college.
  • As a language, I don't need to worry about public static void Main(string[] args) {... boilerplate, I can just start futzing around with var foo = "stuff"; in my browser's console and see immediate results.
