I don't hate Java/Python/C#/C++ because I know I can realistically choose between them when building server, desktop and mobile software. I hate JavaScript because I am forced to use it for web clients. And transpilers are useless because I can't really use my high-level GUI (QT, GWT, WPF etc.) libraries. I spend enough time debugging raw JavaScript, I struggle to see how putting something on top of it will ease the pain.
- talles 13y agoThat's, IMO, is another discussion. This JavaScript you talking about are written by programmers that often don't know JavaScript well and uses it as a little glue language on the client. That's poorly written JavaScript. On top of that, what I see missing on all this flamew.., err, discussion, is the difference between a more loose, small and open language and a more consistent, closed and regular one. Both feel a lot different. Comparing it in a given scenario may be valid, comparing they without any context at all feels like apples and oranges.
