You cannot deal with Javascript without a "complicated dance". I like JS, and TS even more, but facts are facts.

- zapzupnz 8y agoI wonder if that's one of the things that makes wasm appealing, being able to write for the web without having to learn the awkward dance.
- patates 8y agoI think it is. But I also think a significant amount of that awkwardness comes from the DOM and all the backward-compatible cruft that comes with it. I'm ready to be positively surprised but I'm not sure how much of those stuff you can abstract away.
- zapzupnz 8y agoMaybe. For me, the DOM is far from the oddest thing to deal with. That's just fine.
- z3t4 8y agoThe intermediate programmer likes to write smart and complicated code, but after a while you will go back to basics, and start to appreciate simplicity and convenience, and write code similar to a beginner, but without the bugs and inefficiencies (including your own time).
- patates 8y agoI didn't mean it was to be liked. I meant that I like it in spite of the unnecessary complexity.
