I'll try not to take jabs at the fact that you are a lawyer but I'll also say that you're definitely living in a glass house when it comes to occupation.

Now, if you're bagging on Javascript because it's not considered something that real developers do, then I would say take a look at what Google does with google maps, gmail, etc. - it's all AJAX development which is all about Javascript.

P.S. - I don't regularly program in Javascript myself. I'm a C/C++/C# man.
I've been the rounds with several languages but have settled the last few years with Java (very different from Javascript for you non-techies), and really enjoy it.

Of course, that means you and I are necessarily mortal enemies.
