I see a lot of hate for JS in here. I personally love that mother fucker.

*high-fives in es7*

Same here brother, last few days people have been firing shots at JS.

@hawkes you mean es8 .it's out

Async and await are the best

I tend to have a love/hate relationship with JS and Node. its so good but sucks at the same time.
Typescript is better tho

Those people need to read the "Good parts of JS"

My theory is that only good programmers like JS because they already know what they're doing and JS just lets them do it. On the other hand if a programmer relies on the language to tell them whether something is a good idea or not, they're going to hate JavaScript. 😊

Sorry to the JS haters, but I guess it's just too much power for you to handle. 😉

@devios1 I thought that was C++, not JavaScript.

@devios1 Agreed, there are a lot of terrible js coders out there. They blame the language, when in reality they should be blaming themselves

@JsonC11 if the language doesn't throw you into the pit of success, the language is not as well designed as it could have been. I always say JavaScript is a great language, but it is not a good one.

@configurator what is "the pit of success"?

@JsonC11 see https://blog.codinghorror.com/falli...

@devios1 Oh yeah, js does really give no fuck about bad ideas. I've written so many horrible 3 am hacks capable of killing weak hearted devs I actually started to like the freedom js provides.

I love JavaScript, it's a love/hate thing! ❤️/ 💀
