If you hate TS/JS you just haven’t done enough C++ in your career to appreciate it yet :)
I love TypeScript, it’s a fantastic language with a huge ecosystem, and React is pretty nice as well.
I often hear people hating on JS and React, but I still don’t understand what makes it so bad. Every language has cruft.
- orwin 3y agoI like TS, I like modern react, but most shops don't use modern react or TS, and if you're unlucky enough to have to write angular or worse, Extjs, I'd understand a career change.
- phatskat 3y agoMan, ExtJS was my jam back…almost a decade ago I really did have fun with it but more in a “how do I make it do what I want” problem solving way. At one point we had a PHP backend that would generate the Ext controls just how we wanted them by stringing a bunch of code into the JS packages because it was easier than writing/maintaining the JS itself. Don’t ask.
- DarkNova6 3y agoI find it strange that for dynamically typed languages (JS, Python) the argument "but C++ is so much worse" keeps coming back. C++ is a fundamentally orthogonal language. The comparison to a modern mature language like C# would be much more appropriate.
