JS has grown a great many tools, libraries, and features, but as language semantics go it’s hard to say that primordial JS was seriously broken anywhere. Coercions, maybe. It’s not a language I can love, but it’s one I can accept.
PHP’s lack of coherent style and the persistent thrill of not knowing which horrible errors it’s willing to silently swallow and proceed, on the other hand, are (were?) much harder to tolerate.
- kaba0 4y agoReddit’s r/lolphp has some “great” memories of many of the shortcomings (most of which are historical now fortunately). My favorites are probably the randomly long and short function names, due to length being used for hashing, and DATE_8601 not being compatible with ISO-8601. EDIT: Don’t want to start a flamewar, it really has improved over the years. Nonetheless, it has a less than bright past.
