I used to make fun of JavaScript. I hated JavaScript, it was confusing (wtf is prototype?), easy to screw up in, and didn’t have a real concurrency model. But then I realized this didn’t matter. The JavaScript community is was evolving at a ridiculous rate. These weaknesses slowly left their blood, and honestly, now I’m left envious. I enjoy writing Flow, poking around with new ideas like async / await, and envy the sheer performance that JavaScript has attained. I still find JavaScript and often the people associated with JavaScript to be hard to like at times, but it’s a language with great possibilities.
