Modern JavaScript is pretty good.

  And that's something a lot of JS haters have overlooked. I have purposely ignored it for the past few years and am just now getting back into it for doing CLI and back-end Node work... I find myself amazed at what's been added and improved since I was writing jQuery and AngularJS a few years back. I still have no interest in getting back into DOM work if I can avoid it but Node is kinda nice!

  Don’t even tell them. The modern JavaScript/TypeScript is so amazing and probably the best language I have used. I have extensive programming experience in other languages like Java, Scala, Python, Ruby, C, Lisp. But JavaScript definitely wins.

      It is pretty damn powerful and quite elegant. What do you find bad about it?
      • agumonkey 6y ago
        Not a lot is bad in the language since es6 (I don't know if they kept hoisting or not) but in any case I don't find any reason to put it that high above the rest :) but I was curious about your reasons mostly.
