Its far better than it was 10 years ago - JS hate is wielded here by people who haven't used it in years. Unlike C++ the language has changed (definitely for the better). I don't even particularly care much for it but the people who will sit here and lambast it while staunchly writing C++ as if that language isn't in an even worse mess is pretty silly.
I know your take is balanced but others in HN loveeee to hate JS just because they think its what they are supposed to do.
- sam_bristow 6y agoIt's interesting that you chose C++ as your counter-example. It's a language that has also massively changed over the last 10 years. C++11 and later standards were a huge shift and most people would argue it's a much better language than 10 years ago. I don't have a horse in this race though. I don't use Javascript or C++ in any meaningful capacity these days.
