This is insane
- dotancohen 1y ago> This is insane Not for the JavaScript world. I hate to deride the entire community, but many of the collective community decisions are smells. I think that the low barrier to entry means that the community has many inexperienced influential people.
- krapp 1y agoA lot of these decisions were made after Javascript went "enterprise" to make it seem more like a "serious" programming language to SV entrepreneurs by a small number of corporations, not necessarily the community. The bar for entry was always low with javascript, but it also used to be a lot more sane when it was a publicly-driven language.
