  That would be Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/07/the-principle-of-least-power.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/07/the-principle-of-le... And tlrobinson's Law (or corollary?): Any submission to Hacker News about a novel JavaScript program will contain a comment referencing Atwood's Law. https://twitter.com/tlrobinson/status/395636386671235072 https://twitter.com/tlrobinson/status/395636386671235072
