That is why debugging JS that was written in some ridiculous language that compiles to JS becomes quite difficult. The other problem is trying to figure out the fix in the original language which may not be obvious. But this is not a popular opinion. Not that I care that today's programmers would rather require that a web app be written in 10 languages rather than 4 (Serverside, JS, CSS, HTML).
Adding complexity is the opposite of the software development goal. Too bad most people don't get this. Other than shipping your software on time and sometimes even above that goal, is reducing complexity. Too bad most people go the other way because it's "cool."
They shall pay the price.
- kybernetikos 14y agoSource maps go some way to making debugging code written in another language less painful. I more or less agree on the language side though. For real web development anything other than javascript should be providing you with a massive benefit to offset the disadvantages of adding a build step to your workflow and having to debug in a language different to the language you're coding in. I've not found anything that I think gives me a big enough benefit yet to make it worth it.
