JS is stable. More stable than most other languages. If you have reservations about NodeJS and the precarious NPM ecosystem, then say that. But equating JS with NodeJS and its community's dubious practices just exacerbates the problem.
- loup-vaillant 5y agoMany people equate programming languages with their ecosystem. That’s how you get people claiming that $newlang is so much worse than $oldlang, because it has no tools, no libraries, the compiler generates slow code, there is no community, and you can’t get commercial support. That may be true, but that doesn’t say which language is better.
