Yet another JavaScript-bashing rant. Comedic lines include:
"a scientific study has shown JavaScript to be one of the least productive languages in IT"
"There may well be some large applications written in JavaScript (I don’t actually know)"
- lioeters 11y agoI came back to this article again, and actually, I'm now reconsidering my initial reaction. While it does contain a few abrasive or seemingly unsubstantiated statements, the article does make valid points about the suitability of JavaScript for "serious software engineering". There's a recent article describing how a company was basically forced to migrate from Node.js to Go, due to the architectural limitations of the former: The Way of the Gopher (https://medium.com/@theflapjack103/the-way-of-the-gopher-6693db15ae1f https://medium.com/@theflapjack103/the-way-of-the-gopher-669...). This was a convincing real-world example of how a JavaScript backend is not scaleable in some cases, with concrete data to back it up.
