I don't know how much experience you have, but in the JS world there are band-aids everywhere. They "fix" a lot of real-world problems, help push things to production, and are more important than you think.
Just look at the typing gymnastics in TypeScript.
- lloydatkinson 3y agoThe solution to band aids existing isn’t to introduce more, especially not more that are useless.
- pquki4 3y ago1. I don't agree this is useless. You may very likely never need to use it, but not for others. 2. Until every single JavaScript file in the world is in the ESM format, anything that happens before that will be a band aid of some sort.
- WorldMaker 3y ago> I don't know how much experience you have Try better to avoid ad hominem attacks, please. > but in the JS world there are band-aids everywhere I apologize, "band-aid" was the wrong word to use for this specific case, because that unintentionally disparages "band-aids". You are right there are "band-aids" that fix real-world problems, and help heal accidental wounds. This experiment does neither and seems to me worse than a "band-aid". It's a fragile broken and fake bridge that looks like it can get you to your destination but will collapse right under you if you try to use it (rather than switching to what already works today).
- pquki4 3y agoSorry to disappoint you, half of the things in the JS world are half baked, broken, and are fake bridges. That's why I need to mention experience -- it is hard to explain all of this within a few sentences if you don't already have the context of what I am trying to say.
