And transpiled Javascript is clearer than Python how?
- masklinn 14y agoYou missed the point. The complaint was about UI accessibility of HTML versus QT-rendered-in-an-opaque-canvas. Hence yuchi suggesting he'd blind himself with a fork in front of the developers to drive the point home.
- yuchi 14y agoAre we really comparing Python to JavaScript "as they are"? What make you choose a language instead of another one is the environment. Would you use a library-less python? Is Node.js cool because it's JavaScript, or it's cool for the miriad of libraries and traction it has? And BTW, I'm not saying a transpiled JS is clearer than Python, I'm saying that a functional approach to classes (Haskell way) is impossible in JS as it is, and that transpilers (think of Row, LiveScript...) solve that problem de-sugaring it. Nothing more than that. I love Python, I love JS. But would you love Python if you were locked down to Python 2? JavaScript must be backward compatible to keep its "web" role. Please stop confusing languages with environment.
