"In a few hours instead of weeks" I'd argue that the web stack only takes less time, not more.
JavaScript is popular because developers like it, because it works well, not because some "large corps" "push" for things to happen. There are more than scattered evidences to show that.
Next time, come up with something better and more convincing when hating the web stack.
- bitL 4y agoJavaScript is popular because people like half-baked hacky things that give them instant rush/feeling they can do something (i.e. show something basic in a browser). So much effort was spent on painting a lipstick on this pig or to replace it but nothing succeeded unfortunately. It's the equivalent of some fast food in mental domain. If I wanted to damage programmers' minds I would push for this atrocity to become a universal standard. The quality of most node.js modules is horrible which never disappoint in reinventing existing things from other languages/frameworks in inferior ways.
