Not everything modern is good or positive or even acceptable. JS is not uncontroversial, for good reasons, both technical and political via its influence on society.
Lamenting that it is used when there is no need for it seems reasonable to me. The grandparent even made an effort to not just offer destructive criticism but also constructive alternative approaches.
- userbinator 7y agoIndeed, for me "modern" has become an overused buzzword with a negative connotation --- well-deserved too, I think. What's really sad is that this is an article about low-level stuff, and not some more "typical" topic like web applications; I'd be far less surprised, though no less annoyed, if it was the latter.
