I think you failed to move the goalpost away from elitism.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoWell, if you want particulars - my favourite language has plenty of cultural problems, like huge NIH syndrome, or complete inability to actually finish a library (and don't get me started on documentation...). But JavaScript seems to have an unique cultural combination of "move fast and break things" coupled with complete disregard for any kind of efficiency considerations. I don't want to see the web bloat ported over to spreadsheets too.
- Can_Not 8y agoYou're making hasty generalization. JavaScript isn't one big homogeneous culture. I've never worked on a team where unnecessary library bloat and disregarding efficiency was acceptable. I've been to plenty of websites that reject that attitude. Usually businesses don't want to pay the extra dev hours (or quality dev rates) to get code optimized to my preferences.
