Its really just an excuse for people who don't like JS to complain about JS being popular. They honestly hate the fact that JS is one of the most popular languages in the world right now.
You don't see a-lot of post making the frontpage of HN complaining about programing language fatigue, car fatigue or anything else with a lot of choice fatigue.
- marcosdumay 10y agoJavascript is in the unique position where a lot of people (well, nearly everybody) that don't like it are forced to use it.
- CaptSpify 10y agoI don't hate it because it's popular. I hate that it's encouraging sprawling, insecure, fragile design. It slows my computer to a crawl, and all just to make the web-page render worse than if it wasn't used. Sure, there are exceptions where JS is amazing, and absolutely necessary. But that's extremely rare, yet everyone thinks their news-site absolutely must have it.
