The person who wrote that sentence should be put behind bars indefinitely. Now.

@jeremystartm Same goes for every language though.

jeremystartm@fly.staropensource.de

@catraxx@tech.lgbt Yeah, but for JS & TS especially.

catraxx@tech.lgbt

@jeremystartm There is plenty it can do very well.

jeremystartm@fly.staropensource.de

@catraxx@tech.lgbt And plenty where I just want to throw it at the wall. For example performance, memory usage, dependency hell, and so on. And yes, other languages have some of these as well, but JavaScript has them all.

catraxx@tech.lgbt

@jeremystartm Memory usage is proportional to dependencies used. I wouldn't blame badly written libraries on the language.

jeremystartm@fly.staropensource.de

@catraxx@tech.lgbt True, but when let's say 90% of the ecosystem uses shit libraries, then fuck it.

catraxx@tech.lgbt

@jeremystartm I wish i knew what brings on such strong opinions about languages. The best language is the one you know and gets your project done. I personally don't even know where to find the time to learn anything else and to be quite honest most tutorials and documentations out there suck ass. So basically you always have to build something on your own and run into walls until stuff works.

So i'm fine with javascript. It works and it does what i want.
