Continuing lack of an IDE, debugger, and other standard development tools are still considered insurmountable problems by many programmers, who defend their Windows-only applications with the not unreasonable excuse that debugging is too hard on a platform that lacks a debugger.

Most of the people writing in JavaScript are not programmers. They lack the training and discipline to write good programs...

...This has given JavaScript a reputation of being strictly for the amateurs, that it is not suitable for professional programming. This is simply not the case.

Zombies

@benspoon

In our scenario

The Zombies didn't kill all the electricity
Or the internet
Or are very intelligent
Or move very fast
And may or may not be vulnerable to water

@benspoon

And Luckily:

You know how to program in JavaScript
You own a few drones
You own a bunch of Arduino boards and parts
You own a bunch of computers
