It's a weakly typed language and it exhibits all kinds of bizarre not-very-well-thought out behaviors.
c.f. the disaster with npm a few days ago.
These problems are particularly pernicious for large scale apps - which this isn't, currently, but probably aspires to be one day.
Any strongly typed language would be better (python, go, ruby, etc.).
- geofft 11y agoCan you explain how the npm incident is related to typing? I am an advocate of strong typing and love seeing it be the answer to all sorts of problems (e.g. concurrency), but I'm not understanding the connection here.
- crdoconnor 11y agoThat wasn't related to js's weak typing and I didn't say that it was, but it's indicative of the types of other problems that will occur.
