Friend: What's your favorite language?
Me: Javascript.
Friend: But it isn't a programming language.
Me: *throws keyboard at her face*27 -
"10"+20+30 is "102030"
10+"20"+30 is "102030"
But ...
10+20+"30" is "3030"
One must love JavaScript36 -
Meme intended for physics, but sometimes it also happens in progamming. I am looking at you Javascript.

How to become cool in a developer community:
- try javascript for the first time
- pretend to use it like your favorite programming language (99% C)
- notice it is different
- rant about how stupid is javascript and its users7 -
Hold your keyboard! Hold your mouse!
Sons of Java, of Python, my brothers,
I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.
A day may come when the sense of programming language fails,
when we forsake our logic
and break all the laws of programming,
but it is not this day.
An hour of headache and shattered monitors,
when the age of Javascript rises,
but it is not this day!
This day we will find solutions on StackOverflow!!
By all that you hold dear on this good code,
I bid you stand,
Developers!!!8 -
What a wonderful language JavaScript is. It's the only language where "(+(+!+[]+[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+[!+[]+!+[]]+[+[]])+[])[+!+[]]" is equal to just simple "." character.6

A moment of silence for the javascript devs downloading a 13MB of this guy along with their babel transpiler.5

Some 40 years old guy on the bus talking with his younger colleague: "If you learn Java, you know Javascript. Javascript is just more compact Java."18

Yay JavaScript!
NaN === NaN // false
Ok fuck you JavaScript.
[] == [] // false
BUT
[] == ![] // true
Ok I give up!8 -
JavaScript classes don't need private fields. JavaScript doesn't even need classes.
STOP TRYING TO TURN JAVASCRIPT INTO JAVA.16 -
A kid in highschool asked what are the similarities between Java and Javascript. I told him:
"Java is to JavaScript what Car is to Carpet."7 -
Embedding private encryption key in production javascript file and fetching third party session token client side.4

Question:
Is it okay to be bad at JavaScript in 2018?
Really freaking hate my JavaScript skills and infinitely long list of frameworks7 -
Javascript is so funny
"0" == 0 //true
"" == 0 //true
"0" == "" //false
Always remember the ===
Realize this took me an hour of debugging7 -
JavaScript is ok. But I'm really hoping it will be fully replaced by webassembly within the next ten years.9

Normal guy : it's hard to understand my girlfriend ...👯😣💩
Front-end Dev : Ha.. then try Javascript 😎1 -
Just JavaScript things:
alert(typeof NaN); //alerts 'Number' alert(NaN === NaN); //evaluates false
What else would you expect?4 -
Did you know?
By <script style="display:block" ... > ... </script> you can show JavaScript, thats begin run, to the user.2 -
If somebody by now didn't know: doom running in your browser via javascript magic: https://js-dos.com/games/...1

I think javascript is a great language, but it has some really ugly parts.
For some reason, it really annoys me that JS developers are ok with things like
if (typeof something === "undefined")
I mean, comparing strings like that!3 -
I am actually kind of starting to see reacts usefulness and opportunities, but just can't let go the thought that many are blocking javascript, so those would be barred from the resulting site, doesn't that bother anybody else? or is that just generally ignored?14
-
After years of my own dodgy javascript codes, I've started to throw away everything I know about javascript and learn it from scratch.
Learning that functions are objects really helped in restructuring a pile of my code. Eg passing it as a parameter to be executed.
Suddenly callback functions make a lot of sense now, and I've got a new found respect for the language. -
Javascript promises: I JUST WANT THE FUCKING VALUE OF A PROMISE.
WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT PROMISES SIMPLIFIED ANYTHING?!8 -
Is it just me or JavaScript on the browser really has become over complicated then it should be? It’s way overkill for the job that it’s supposed to do. Every time I hear about these new frameworks and I see the guys just loving it I cringe so hard, I want to say something then I stop because they are loving it sooo much. It’s a disaster I hate looking at the front end it’s a huge pile of fancy shit.6

Trying to learn es6 JavaScript and Vue js, whilst also maintaining sites using jquery.
My head is about to explode... -
Quote of the day:
The strength of JavaScript is that you can do anything with it. The weakness is that you will!!!
🤣🤣
- JavaScript Allongé -
A lot more JavaScript. Game engines being built on JavaScript, businesses turning their whole stack over to JavaScript as they see the advantages of having all of their eggs/devs in the same basket.
Hopefully some of these python machine learning library’s get implemented in JavaScript or if nothing else compile to JavaScript.
Hoping ES8 brings even more ways to abstract and write my code in a more orderly fashion. By god as much as I love typescript maybe even work its way toward rendering it less as important.9 -
Oracle has banned an app in the App Store because it contained “JavaScript” in the name... any ideas for the new name for JavaScript©️?

Stuff is so rapidly depricated in javascript that you always have to add current year in Google searches to find something relevant.
"Dammit, this answer is from 2016, probly no good today". -
*literally any arithmetic operation which is hideously wrong*
Almost every JS dev : Is this JavaScript?1 -
Most of my time coding in Javascript goes to handling null checks and fixing crashes caused due to missed null checks.
`"abc" is undefined` is an error which I must have seen more number of times than any other bug in console and even in real life.2 -
Worst thing to happen as a JavaScript developer is that someone on your team insists on using JQuery in a project using a JS framework like Angular.2
-
If you're a javascript dev and you haven't read "You don't know JS", you should give it a try. Officially posted as a free git book.2

I'm reading 'JavaScript: The Good Parts'. Nearly a quarter of the way through and all I've read about are bad parts. I thought this would make me like JavaScript more, not less!
-
Why are most people here opposed to JavaScript?
I use it daily and can’t understand why people dislike it so much.25 -
It looks like packages on npm have "disappeared".

Gotta love javascript.2 -
What the Fun Javascript!!!
'==' in Javascript is supposed to do type conversions, before comparing the two items.
Then...!!8 -
ESNext (next version of JavaScript) — because no matter what I do, as long as I'm working with web technologies, JavaScript is king. My career has evolved from UI-focused work, primarily working with JavaScript, yet I've also worked on embedded platforms and even operating systems! JavaScript is my foundation and you must always remember your roots!1

In case the kiddos ask if you can hack Facebook or whatever, here's a nice little JS code. Copy paste it into the URL, hit enter and select + edit whatever you like!
javascript: document.body.contentEditable = 'true'; document.designMode = 'on'; void 0
ps: in chrome the 'javascript:' at the beginning gets removed so you'll have to manually add it. not sure about other browsers3 -
I don't get all the hate for Javascript, or I might be spoiled with ES6 and React clouding my judgement. :P
I could write web pages in Javascript all day long. It's better in my opinion then writing pure HTML and CSS. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe I'm more cut-out for full stack dev work then I thought...3 -
Guess what below if condition evaluates to true in javascript
-- and they say Javascript is beautiful 🙃🙃
if(test == 7 && test == 9 && test == 11) {
console.log('Hello World!');
}4 -
JavaScript... Why are you so complicated. Simple, but complicated. When "this" doesn't always mean "this".. there are lots of ... complicated things.2
-
fuck javascript
took me an hour, but I finally figured out why the date was so wack
can you?
admittedly not strong in js, cuz I hate it7 -
How can Javascript, one of the MOST WIDELY used and MATURE languages with A MILLION CANCEROUS FRAMEWORKS, NOT have a basic collections class? Are data structures not important in Javascript?
I've been struggling all night trying to get Sets working - surprise, they're utterly useless in Javascript cause you can't define the set comparator.
I just lost it when I found out THERE ISN'T EVEN A QUEUE. WT-ACTUAL-F15 -
WHAT COCKSUCKING LUNATICS DECIDED TO MAKE A PDF ONLY ABLE TO DOWNLOAD WITH JAVASCRIPT.
I CANT DOWNLOAD YOUR FUCKING PDFS TO SIGN BY TONIGHT BECAUSE ALL I HAVE IS MY IPad. WHICH DOESNT FUCKING HAVE JAVASCRIPT
THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE TO USE JAVASCRIPT AND THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. GO CASTRATE YOURSELF WITH A RUSTY KNIFE5 -
There are so many tools, libraries and frameworks available for Javascript that its so difficult to select the most suitable one :|2
-
At some point I liked javascript. Now I wish it would go the way dinosaurs went. Itself and its ecosystem are changing like hell based on whims and magpie behaviour.2
-
Does anyone else turn to prayer when their JavaScript build craps out on them , even on production? I'm thinking of forming an es7 prayer group1
-
instead of building new framework for javascript build a new language.
why no one don't do it? for example facebook instead of developing react should build new language. javascript is fucking hard, do you hear me? IT IS HARD11 -
That dogmatic "always use === when writing JavaScript"... It's a matter of context, we just discovered a bug produced by that.12

>be me

Only if javascript could have milkshakes, which would be it's favourite?
-Yes, you are right!!
If you couldn't get it, why are you even here?2 -
Does it really need to learn jquery in 2019? Bc I read some websites saying that JavaScript has developed and no need for javascript , is that true?11
-
Does this book worth reading?
Hello I've finished several books about JavaScript already and many of them mention this one
JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 6th Edition [2011]
I am a bit embarrassed, because despite it looks like a thorough 1000 pages guide, its last edition dates 2011 year.
From one point of view, it should contain core concepts that still remain the same, from the other, reading 2011 book in 2018 sounds like a not very good decision.
What would you say?8 -
JavaScript engine trolling: input field in html defined as a number but JavaScript insisted it was a string! But only that one field. That is same as the rest.2

First Rant...

-
Fuck you javascript. You're the worst. Fuck you fuck you. Why I became a fucking frontend developer. Fuck me and my stupid idea to get hired as a...
Oh nvm found the bug. JS is za best.1 -
Javascript in a nutshell:
Function in a teaching example for a framework, checks for validity of input, dev returns null instead of false when it isn't. In another place, uses !variable to check if variable is 0.
fucking follow the semantics of the code you write cunt why do you have to do this why is it so hard to write variable !== 0
I'm sorry, this really triggers me.

Functional programming, Reacts! Because that's what the cool kids are using now... nice rant https://hackernoon.com/how-it-feels...

JavaScript decided it wanted to be a Prototype based language because it needed to feel special.
Freaking Prototypes.
Classes > Prototypes3 -
Biggest annoyance when working with JavaScript ?
Overconfigured ESLint.
Space here NOT allowed!
Mandatory here, forbidden there.
COME ON! -
I have never felt so defeated by a programming language as I do now. And it's Javascript of all things.3
-
When my friend asks me, what language I use (javascript) only to say, that he saw a java position yesterday, am I interested.2
-
I'm having trouble making proper structure of my JavaScript. No interfaces, no traits. I'm use to a real strategy design approach using php and c#. I don't know if JavaScript allows for that kind of design.8
