document.write is not newer than console.log

`document.write` can be used to `eval(arbitrary malicious code)`, for example https://js.do/celiasnt/noooodocumentwrite

Also see image right.

Try document.write in the console and you get this message

`console.log` isn't deprecated or old or anything, it's literally what you're supposed to use! It can do a lot of things https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7505623/colors-in-javascript-console not to mention all the other methods of console https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console

Document.write() is the current output code for JavaScript. When I coded in JavaScript for the first time a few months ago (learning about computer science in my college class), I tried to write a "Hello, world" program with console.log(). However, that didn't work, so I had to use document.write() to output a "Hello, world" program to the screen. Go try it out yourself at w3schools.com/js. FlyDragon792, 04:34, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi! To follow up on this a bit, I noticed that you reverted a similar change. I had (a week-ish ago) had replied to your section in the talk page, apologies for not pinging you then. I think it might be worth discussing this because, for a few reasons, I do not think that document.write is the correct example for a JS hello world program. Looking forward to discussing this!
