> JS sometimes feels like assembly
Every time I see this statement, I wonder what the Venn diagram of people who say so and people who have ever written a line of asm looks like.
- nottorp 6y agoSee what I was saying in the OP about the average JS developer :) It's not even their fault, it's all they know from those online courses or boot camps.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoI don't even get it. You write Javascript basically 1:1 the same as Python or Ruby. And I would argue it's even nicer in various cases, from destructuring to lambdas to async/await and first-class Promises. I wonder if the people say they avoid JS at all costs because it's "like assembly" have been doing that so effectively since 2003 that they never even tried modern JS
