I see this as a problem that's horribly inflated by those who don't use JS on a daily basis.
Practitioners of the language largely don't care, because in actual code you rarely see cases where it would matter.
Now that we have template strings it's even less relevant.
- _gabe_ 3y agoI use TypeScript on a daily basis for my job. It was an entire language created to make up for JS's shortcomings. There's no horribly inflated reasoning going on when most of the industry has decided the best idea is to just throw away the language and use a different one that transpiles to it.
