It doesn't bother you that huge portions of our tech stack are sitting on top of layers of terrible language design that our ancestors will have to deal with? Perhaps the parent post is looking more to the future. Of course it all still works, but when you think we could be doing the same job with Lisp, Smalltalk, (insert any non perfect, but much better than JS technology), it does make me cringe a little.

- marcosdumay 9y ago> that our ancestors will have to deal with You meant descendants? Anyway, they won't. They will throw away the garbage and rewrite anything good they find. Just like we do.
- throwaway7645 9y agoHaha, yes my goof up. I disagree that they will rewrite though. Nobody is willingly rewriting millions of loc.
