Considering everything is being shoved into the web paradigm and written in JS even when it's wildly wrong for the job, I think it fits the description perfectly.
- viklove 7y ago> even when it's wildly wrong for the job Oh, are you the great decider who decrees what we can and can't use certain programming languages for?
- superdisk 7y agoNo, but JS certainly wasn't designed for what it's been retooled into doing now. Neither is HTML.
- braythwayt 7y agoIf you really want a blog post to describe how JavaScript is eating the world, I suggest it isn’t “Beating the Averages” by Paul Graham. It’s actually “Worse is Better” by Richard Gabriel. I don’t think people are writing JavaScript tooling while saying that JS is just as powerful as Haskell or Lisp. What they’re saying is that its ubiquity is valuable and for their use case, ubiquity and network effects trump productivity and/or “power” however we might want to define them.
