    Every programming language has it’s place.

    JavaScript’s place is in hell.

      I used to think Javascript was hell when I barely used it. Now I have to build with it regularly and… once in a while I’m just right about things.

      Ever wanted to be somewhere inbetween java and JavaScript?

      Yeah, that’s Groovy. Only it’s the wrong groove

      JS is ironic punishment as a programming language. It’s fun to screw around in! And then you have to use it for stuff, and pain ensues.

      What makes JavaScript so widely disliked? I know very little of it, and in skimming different stuff I think I’ve seen like a million different frameworks for it, so is that a part of it?

        It was mostly made for simple scripts to embed on a website for animations and handling updates without refreshing whole page. Not to make a full portable client (browser) side app.
        Hating JavaScript is mostly a meme, it’s just a programming language. But its very loose syntax, fact it’s often someone’s first programming language to learn and how most programs written in it nowadays are a hack build on top of a hack on top a hack makes this language easy to laugh at.

      Also regular java.

      There is not a single piece of Java software in existence which wouldn’t be better as some combination of C++ and/or python. Chang my mind.

      God I hate java so much.
