Love the optimism of this bit:
> JavaScript is analogous to Visual Basic in that it can be used by people with little or no programming experience to quickly construct complex applications
- Insanity 11mo agoI read this as a negative. As in, as soon as someone without experience touches JavaScript, everything becomes complex quickly. Which is probably somewhat true now in the GenAI + over-engineered framework age.
- anthk 11mo agoSome VB applications were very nice design wise, and ditto with TCL/Tk. They were it a bit loated for its era (Pentium I-III), but I've seen worse JS aberrations.
