Kid beer!
Can we please not bring the “JS bad” humor here please? That joke is so tired.
Sure but have you considered JS bad?
Sorry what? You want to deny them telling one of the 3 jokes they know?
Agreed, it's incredibly tedious. It also creates a really toxic "oh, we're real programmers over here, JS devs suck" kinda vibe which can be incredibly unwelcoming especially to newer devs who might be seeking a community.
For real.
I think the "real" programmers are scared because you can now do basically anything in js/ts, and they're going to have to learn something they've always looked down on.
With web assembly coming fast a lot of these people are going to start realizing it would be nice to have a cheaper, js-only developer on hand. Then mgmt is going to realize they can have more developers that aren't total pains in the ass. And so long "real" programmers.
Then, some day, I think js will be the only language - or something like js.
Do you think it’s good or are you just tired of hearing about it
I mean objectively the language has fundamental problems. I don’t think anybody would fight you on that, but all programming languages have quirks. Modern JS definitely isn’t as bad as the frequency of the joke warrants. And if the demographic of this community is anything like the other site, it’s largely comprised of 1st and 2nd year CS Students who have only ever written in whatever language their curriculum teaches (Python or Java).
