What's wrong with JS syntax? Seems pretty modern and adequate for what it needs to do
- PedroBatista 5y agoMaybe what it needed to do, but not what people do with it now. There are entirely “enterprise” systems coded in that thing. It’s an human problem, original JS syntax was fine imho.
- 0x737368 5y agoPersonally, I think that the original JS syntax is absolutely horrendous and is in no small part responsible for the bad reputation JS is still shaking off. Modern JS in comparison is an absolute dream.
- elevenoh 5y agoI don't think js was ever all that bad, little ambitious however. But modern JS now checks off nearly all my boxes.
- smitty1e 5y agoI find in hard to know where things begin and where I am executing in a JS codebase/library. This may have more to do with the async nature thereof than the syntax specifics.
