The JavaScript community grew by an impressive four million users in the past 12 months, solidifying its status as the most widely-used programming language globally.
Oh my god look at how big this Java project is before I compile it, what a nightmare!!1!1!1!
When shipping to customers, all code is your responsibility, dependency or otherwise. A bug or a security vulnerability, which aren’t rare in the JS ecosystem, is your responsibility whether you wrote the code or not. Customers don’t care if someone else wrote it, it’s your product, you are to blame.
Thus, the less code, the better. Less moving parts also means more stability in general.
the most popular language and the most successful cross platform development platform in the entire history of programming
But no, I’m sure it’s the millions of successful developers and users who are wrong.
People can be successful with things that aren’t perfect. It’s often a matter of being the first, not being the best. Something can be popular and still not be good, momentum is hard to stop. If JS’s own creator saying so in the last few years can’t convince you of that, I don’t know what will.
Flash at one point was the most popular. It was still flawed, and a liability, but I bet that doesn’t hurt you as much to hear.
Everything is shit but you amirite?
Quite the contrary. I have flaws like everybody else, but at least I don’t deflect every single criticism of stuff I like because in can’t fathom it not being perfect. It’s fine, use it. Maybe one day you’ll find a platform that’ll make you realize there’s better stuff out there.
But I’m done arguing with you. I should have known by the tone of your first reply that this wasn’t going to be a real discussion, just you being butthurt because someone said something negative about your favourite language. Go get butthurt somewhere else.
