The biggest problem I have with JS is the multitude of libraries you need in order to make it usable.
These libraries all seem to use and encourage different patterns and trying to use 2 together often leads to confusion.
Switching to a project that uses something different, say prototype instead of jQuery feels like learning from scratch again.
- davedx 14y agoTo be fair, I've found many, many projects use underscore for their go-to 'utility' library and it's pretty decent and readable. What other libraries have you seen as dependencies that cause clashes?
- jiggy2011 14y agoNot so much clashes, just documentation and examples tend to use often radically different coding styles.
