Javascript is McDonald's.

1) everyone says they hate it....but they just keep going back.

2) very few people admit they keep gong back...

3) When McDonald's started doing salads, dressing nice, and delivering to tables it seemed a little much, you're a burger place. A few years later I'm writing my app in react JS, serving up eJS templates with my NodeJS server, running off a NOSQL JSon database, and munching down a Greek salad from McD's.

4) you start your burger (project) with high hopes. As you eat though....you start to regret it, but oh well, you're halfway in. By the end, never again, last time. A little while later, npm asks you if you'd like fries with that.

Feel free to disagree or add more!

    I completely agree, that's what you get for ranting at midnight!

    As a Greek guy I have to say this: you can’t get a proper greek salad in a junk food place.

    @Floydian it's next to our company, and the bakery next to it are selling some BS pies.

    Seafood curry... So creamy, I don't even know what's inside.🤦‍♂️

    At least, you know exactly what you got from McDonald's

    I’d say you put too much into this analogy. Tl;dr JavaScript is like McD’s quick, cheap, ubiquitous, fattening (node_modules); when you’re done there’s a mixed feeling of satisfaction and guilt.

    Full disclosure I had McNuggets for lunch and I’ve been working on a NodeJS app today.
