On one hand, JavaScript being easy makes programming accessible. On the other hand, the state of programming is terrible and getting worse. So you can't say if it's bad or not.
- RussianCow 4y ago> On the other hand, the state of programming is terrible and getting worse. What does this mean? It's an order of magnitude easier to build an app/service/whatever today than it was a decade ago. Having to maintain separate code paths for IE because it doesn't support many of the APIs and CSS features you need was "terrible"; by comparison, engineering today is heavenly.
