JavaScript debugging vs Java. 😅

is that a Kukri

SNIPAH

if only.

And then they say that js is superior and java should die :)

I once had to debug a JavaScript program without knowing any JavaScript.

@Fabian in fact I learned JavaScript by refactoring a piece of legacy JavaScript code

@tmpnull remind you of anyone?

Hint begins with an S

Haha so true. I hate js and the exosystem exactly for that. Its highly ineffective debugging ...

@Fabian i did something similar for gbZ80ASM and C. I know sprinklings of both now!

I'd put React, Angular & Vue on the same level as Java in terms of hard-to-decrypt errors. All three JS frameworks have similar kinds of obscure magic stuff going on, which melts like hot cheese all over your stupid mistakes, and makes them super messy to find if you aren't intimately familiar with all those saucy lasagna layers.

Pure JS? Pretty easy. Race conditions can be annoying to find if the code is structured like al dente fettuccine, but it's not too bad if you're skilled and attentive with your utensils.

Haskell debugging is more like a szechuan chili wok dish with razor wire instead of egg noodles even if you sorted out all your pasta like a good boy.

Couldn't match type `b0' with `[Prism]' `b0' is untouchable inside the constraints (Iso ~ Iso) bound at a pattern with constructor A :: A Iso, in a case alternative in the pattern: A... NO JUST FUCK NO THAT'S NOT A PROPER RECIPE FOR SUCCESS, YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE WRONG COOK HASKELL.

Debugging a nodejs app pushed in the cloud = cancer of all time

I kept wondering why one of my javascript projects did work on my PC but gave undefined errors on a slower one...

Then I realised it's all async.

@Parzi there's a bloody SPAH
