And for the handful of routines where all-out performance is the bottleneck for your business those languages are the right tool for the job.
For everything else, there’s JavaScript.
- berkes 4y agoThere are many areas in which JavaScript "performs" poorer than other options. Productivity, stability, maintainability, to name a few. Other languages and ecosystems are much better at that, than JavaScript. Luckily projects like typescript solve those issues, or try to.
- int_19h 4y agoIf there was a reason to prefer JS, sure. But it's not really any better in other respects. The only thing it has going for it is that it's forced on you on the frontend.
- erikpukinskis 4y agoIMO, that’s the only reason to use JavaScript: you can have a single language application. With anything else you need a two language application. Going from one to two is a MASSSIVE increase in developer overhead. Not sure that outweighs the downsides of JavaScript, but that’s how I’d dispute your “no reason” claim.
