The real problem here is that all these comp sci "geniuses" want to make a name for themselves with a "real" project and so they create all these garbage tools (compilers, pre-processors, etc) that make things worse by introducing and encouraging more complexity when just using plain JS would work better.
A lot of them are Java/C++ people with no experience in web development who see the simplicity of JS as a flaw and want to recreate the s--tshow they are used to working with because the complexity makes them feel smart and special.
That is just human nature though. The same argument has been going on for decades between C and C++ people. Nothing new here.
- mratzloff 9y agoJavaScript static typing, promises, and modularization via imports are very useful—you just pay for them with a compile step. If you don't want those features, don't pay for them.
- wsy 9y agoAs many people here already said, just stick with your simple JS. No need to complain about anything because plain JS still works exactly as it always did.
- Can_Not 9y ago> want to make a name for themselves with a "real" project I think the ones doing it to make a name for themselves rather than solve a real problem are a lot less common than you're making it out to be.
