The current state of JavaScript- Is it broken?
- zzo38computer 7y agoI do think they have added some good stuff to JavaScript, such as typed arrays, big integers, arrow functions, strict mode, generator functions, WeakMap, symbol type, etc. But some features of JavaScript, I don't like much, such as automatic semicolon insertion. Some features I find unnecessary. And some stuff I thought they ought to add but didn't, such as a goto command, macros, a popcount function for big integers, a built-in regular expression quotation function (it can be implemented easily enough, but it seem the thing that should be built-in), and a big integer date function (low priority, but maybe in the far future, it ought to be added).
