What morbid nonsense. I don't think there's a single language or framework that I haven't heard this about. None of our tools are perfect, but great software

What morbid nonsense.
I don't think there's a single language or framework that I haven't heard this about.
None of our tools are perfect, but great software has been written with all of them anyway, and lots of people have enjoyed working with those tools along the way.
If you don't like a tool, switch or build a better one. Don't write long borderline-nihilistic blog posts about how everything is terrible and we're all clueless.
- Guthur 9y agoWhy not? Is there something wrong with expressing an opinion about a programming language. You've just expressed a similar opinion about their right to expression.
- patates 9y agoIt pushes too hard, it's not balanced nor it is fair. There are articles which generally criticize js that I've bookmarked, but this is mostly expressing emotion not so much opinion.
- noufalibrahim 9y agoThat's generally true. However, when the creator of a popular language/framework disses it himself, it carries a different kind of weight that can't be easily dispelled by your argument.
- cmroanirgo 9y agoIt doesn't read that Ryan Dahl dissed it. He dissed every language and their role in adding to the complexity of the thing that is called IT these days. And he tried to make the focus about the user of the software: as it should be! "The only thing that matters in software is the experience of the user." I agree.
- vixen99 9y agoReading a critical blog post, even nihilistic ones (if they are) is not obligatory. Switch reading matter and stop telling others what not to write.
