Stop reading articles on which framework/library is better, pick one and start actually writing code.

... Only to then discover that this library is utterly broken and/or undocumented and you have to start over again.
GODDAMNIT JS I HATE YOUR ASS

Blame the author not the tool

@nblackburn
I actually very like JS in that it's so basic and free-form that you can use however the hell you want.

Want dynamic typing? Use that. Want OOP? Use that (even though I wouldn't recommend doing that, at least in the classic way). Want async programming together with functional on top of TypeScript with some ES6 thrown in? You're welcome.

And at the same time this leads to a huge fragmentation, which together with an explosion in its usage, meaning a lot of low-quality code, makes nearly a disaster. Nearly everyone acknowledges that learning modern JS is a huge pain right now.

@AlmightyBaka JS is going though an evolution right now but agree it has similar problems to PHP on terms of it being simple to pickup creating a lot of shit developers.

@nblackburn yeah, evolution is a nice way to call it, I guess.

I do actually love js' ass

And btw I'm pretty sure you hate angular/react/vue/ember etc, not JS itself

@vzqzac mostly, but there is plenty of stuff outside of that too - look at promises until it got official in es6 :P
