In my opinion, JS development is unpleasant because of the many, many inconsistencies and corner cases that must be accounted for when writing code, the dumpster fire that is the npm ecosystem, and the lack of established frameworks like Django. Things like TypeScript make writing code less painful, but I only use JS when I have to (i.e. I need something to execute in a browser).

This is completely subjective, and I would disagree.
- bliteben 6y agoeven just wiring up a management command / cron job is a huge pain in javascript right now with the require vs import stuff. typescript makes it better, but until type script is more supported this type of stuff is going to continue to be an issue.
- bpt3 6y agoAgreed, I think it's much easier to make a list of what is not a huge pain in javascript that it would be to make a list of everything that is.
