[object Object]?[object Object]This is my favourite talk of all time
If you ever want to mess with a developer, send that on a form as one of the answers and watch them tear their hair out.
I object, your honor!
I am old. I am still not over JavaScript existing outside of a browser. I’m not sure I ever will be. And that’s from someone who uses a Linux DE that uses JavaScript and XML as part of its GUI.
I’m still mad about JavaScript existing at all.
I hate Microsoft but honestly Typescript makes JavaScript one of my favourite languages. Its how it should have been
I’m still mad about the inventor of JavaScript existing at all.
Invent a time machine, send a robot back in time to terminate their parents.
If you have an evening (or all weekend), and really want to blow your mind, look up Low Byte Productions on YouTube and look up their JavaScript videos.
Oh my. I just found the JSfuck video.
Oh this sounds like my kind of entertainment…
I am old. I am still not over JavaScript existing outside of a browser.
I’m in my mid thirties and didn’t know this was a thing until now.
Even if you don’t count desktop applications like VSCode or Discord or whatever that are written in primarily JavaScript due to those arguably just being packed inside their own little browser engine that they ship with, still yes.
Node.js is an extremely widely used JavaScript runtime environment that people are using to write server back ends and command line utilities and god knows what else in JavaScript.
We need a mobile app? Believe it or not, JavaScript, right away. We have the best/worst software in the world because of Javascript.
ans trillions of frameworks
I wrote an entire email service (https://port87.com/) in JavaScript (Node.js and SvelteKit). I know some people have strong feelings against JavaScript, but the fact that you can build basically anything in it is pretty nice.
There is many languages that you can build anything with… Although I’ll agree the front end side is more tedious
As long as you’re not doing number crunching, use whatever makes you more productive.
bonus feature : you server is now a toaster. Well there is nowhere to pu bread, but your watt/heat ratio is definitely closer to toaster than with a decent stack
As a JS dev, I approve of this meme.
after all, mongo is webscale !!1!
So is /dev/null.
/dev/null is the best for scalability
The database I use at work uses JavaScript for custom functions.
I had to deal with large JavaScript codebases targeting IE8 back in the day and probably would’ve slapped anyone back then who suggested using JavaScript for everything. I have to say, though, that faster runtimes like v8 and TypeScript have done wonders, and TypeScript nowadays is actually one of my favorite languages.
How is ts faster?
It’s not even part of jsThe JavaScript code is compiled to native and is heavily optimized, as opposed to being interpreted.
Compiled to native what?
Typescript is only used at development time it won’t do shit in the browser for you.
Where did u see any performance improvements? TS doesn’t do thatTS transpiles to JS, and then when that JS is executed in Deno, Node.js, a Blink browser like Chrome, etc., it gets just in time compiled to native machine code instead of getting interpreted. Hope that helps.
Bruh. JSON.
RavenDb like “Yeh and?”
When you add TypeScript on top and with EcmaScript finally caving in to
classism, and with all the new shiny APIs (fetch,Temporal,Setand the like), I really don’t get the hate for JavaScript anymore.Especially TypeScript’s type system is so awesome that I’ve found my self cursing at Java for not doing types well enough.
this is why im a essential worker
