Is JavaScript worth looking at, as an alternative to Python?
- baq 4y agoAs an alternative for web apps, yes. In other domains, not really, but it’ll work, it just doesn’t solve any problem better except it isn’t Python.
- jeremyjacob 4y agoYou might look at Deno[0] which provides that scripting language experience, similar to python. [0] https://deno.land https://deno.land
- reducesuffering 4y agoFor most web-based things, frontend and backend, Typescript is where the zeitgeist is these days. Better types, web native, more performant, better async support, better library ecosystem, new cutting edge tech projects, etc. Python's forte and niche is in ML and scientific computing. For quick scripts, either are fine.
