interesting find. It's a wonder that JS is moving into everything.
- Zelphyr 12y agoEvery language has its idiosyncrasies, annoyances, and wtf's. Because they're written by humans who have idiosyncrasies, annoyances, and wtf's. JS is moving into everything because it's easy to learn, reasonably expressive, and is accessible. It may not be the best but often as not its the "good enough" that seems to rise to the top. In other words; you're better off accepting it for what it is and doing the best you can with it.
- Retra 12y agoBetter off compared to what?
- Zelphyr 12y agoFighting it, complaining, being miserable. None of which will get you anywhere really. If you hate JS that much it probably makes sense to focus your efforts towards a different kind of development than web.
- Retra 12y ago"If you don't like something, just forget about it and do something else." I can't wait to teach that to my kids.
- M8 12y agoNo. It's moving into everything because it's well established in browsers. Otherwise nobody would use it.
- Zelphyr 12y agoThus it being "accessible".
