- saas_co_de 9y agoyeah, you would think that from the vociferous army of haters here :)
- jstewartmobile 9y agoThere's so much of it out there that you don't really have to program in it as much as copy-paste in it. Your expectations probably would have been met or exceeded if people still had to actually write things in it.
- CaptSpify 9y agoI really wonder how much this is tainted by being at SO? There's a huge JS audience there vs other sites, IME. Additionally, I'm kind of a JS hater, but I really only hate it because it is just too often mis-used, not because it is actually bad itself.
- sushid 9y agoMisused? How so? Are you referring to those that give advice with "just import lodash and use ___" or "you can do this easily in jQuery like _____"? I find that a lot of the JS answers are pretty good, and there are many 2-3+ year old answers that are edited with ES6 updates to the answer, which is pretty amazing/nice.
- CaptSpify 9y agoI'm not saying that the advice is misused, but that JS itself is misused by most of the sites that implement it.
