I remember this saying originating as a riff on The Art of War, but I have no evidence of that

- qiqing 6y agoNot a Japanese speaker, but I'm a native Chinese speaker. I know that Bingfa (The Art of War) could also be translated as The Practice of War or Methods of War. Translations are always interpretations because phrases aren't exact. The Art of JavaScript sure does sound more exotic than The Practice of JavaScript, so I can see why a translator would make that choice.
