- tinus_hn 8y agoYour comment is quite confusing. What is your argument? According to your references Javascript is the 7th or 8th most used programming language. That counts as ‘a lot’ to me.
- mtberatwork 8y agoYou are arguing: > There is a reason it is used so much outside of webpages. I'm asking how you are coming to this conclusion. I personally do not see any evidence to support this and if you take any of these popularity/usage surveys into account, they do not support this either. > 7th or 8th most used programming language. That counts as ‘a lot’ to me. I mean, come on...that's not the same thing as "is used so much outside of webpages".
- seba_dos1 8y agoYeah, it isn't really used much outside of webpages and web tech like Electron. The only applications where it has non-trivial usage are those that cater to webdevelopers.
- tinus_hn 8y agoI think that these surveys are really unreliable but even if a language is only used in 1% of all projects that is still a lot of projects. That’s why I think 7th or 8th is still a lot. Here’s a Node package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/left-pad https://www.npmjs.com/package/left-pad Node.js is for server side programming, not Javascript in the DOM. The package has almost 3 million downloads, weekly. To me, that is a lot.
