I'm not sure if the world would really be a better place if more people learned JavaScript, but I do hope that at least some of the alleged "surge" goes towards learning about basic rules of security on the Internet. Like, "Don't click Yes on that thing unless you're sure what you're saying Yes to."
In fact, I'd much rather not share the world with people who know how to write JavaScript but not basic rules of security. They are so much more dangerous than people who know neither!
