I've noticed that most people slamming js either have zero or very little knowledge of the language itself as well as environments it works in.
Maybe, just maybe, it's worth learning a bit more about how and - more importantly - when js works.
- sli 10y agoI can only speak for myself, but I practically never run into any of those popular Javascript "gotchas" after using the language for so long. I've fallen into plenty of PHP traps, they tend to be a lot more subtle (especially that older one where a missing quote would error on the next line containing a quote), but JS's tend to be pretty avoidable, even in larger apps.
