What is your problem? If you don't like JavaScript don't use it. I think it's a great language that allows me to do lightweight OOP and FP programming. Since you don't like it just use another language.
- patmorgan23 3y agoJavaScript is not a good language. It was in the right place at the right time (the browser in the early 90/00s) The way it does dynamic typing is insane, error handling is hot garbage, and the GC nature of it means you can get unavoidable stop the world latency while the GC runs. You can certainly do a lot with JavaScript and there's a massive echo system around it. But that doesn't mean it's good.
