@Root I honestly cannot wait until they add the one thing necessary to do loops or calc a number in html. Game over bitches! People get so upset about this.
I guess there are places where html cannot run scripts, but for web scripts (JS) are ubiquitous. -
@Demolishun even if they did, it's still hyper text markup language.
Markup language.
There, I said it.
Can I now get the sexy waiter please with the good food and expensive beverages? -
@dIREsTRAITS your code is even headless 😏
@Root html sucks, let's put it inside JS like we did a decade ago and call it "modern" -
@dIREsTRAITS how headless of you)

@C0D4 Ugh, JSX bullshit is needlessly put in different holes: even TypeScript config provides an "option" for it. Dumpster fire of coupling. Uncompiled HTML-in-JS is even better (for worse).
So far, only Vue and Svelte component file formats make sense to me. -
@vintprox Do you mean the svelte that decides which parts of your code should be reactive based on what you assign to a variable, thus making a lot of supposedly isomorphic transformations non-isomorphic? At least JSX is thin syntax sugar over a trivial object model, not fucking transpiler black magic that turns valid JavaScript into valid JavaScript that does something else.

oops, your program doesn't work for any other input value because the language you used doesn't support that kind of feature.
which is exactly what makes it not a programming language.
