In practice I assume Javascript is the leader language for onbording new people. The speed to go from learning-the-language to useful results has to be best in Javascript.
- abenga 3y agoEvery time I need to work in JavaScript (which happens only a few times a year), just getting build scaffolding to work is so very hard. The gulf from "you understand the language's syntax" to "you can build something useful following commonly-agreed conventions" is vast. Not to forget that these conventions significantly change every few months.
- lenkite 3y agoUse Deno. You don't need to deal with `package.json` and `node_modules`. You can have full programs in a single script that import their dependencies within the script. The build scaffolding can range from 0 to whatever you need. I actually returned to JS scripting after a long hiatus thanks to Deno. And now like the language a lot more.
