I'm not disputing that good tools are possible in any language, nor am I disputing good tools don't exist which were written in JavaScript.
But so far I have not seen enough benefits to outweigh the risks.
And to me, JavaScript has too many risks. The language has way too many gotchas and it is extremely easy to write a system utility that isn't rock solid.
And I very much dislike using system utilities if they are not rock solid.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoPersonally, I don't like the JavaScript community. Call me old and grumpy, but what I see is mostly inexperienced people building framework after framework, tool after tool, building layers upon layers upon layers of cruft without a minute of consideration whether it's needed at all (or worth the electricity it uses up). It's like the polar opposite of systems programming.
