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 JavaScript39 -

Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.3

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 -
I always hate going back to C++ after using JavaScript for long periods of time. I'm always like, "Fuck I just wanna split this string!"3

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!!!

What a wonderful language JavaScript is. It's the only language where "(+(+!+[]+[+!+[]]+(!![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+[!+[]+!+[]]+[+[]])+[])[+!+[]]" is equal to just simple "." character.6

JavaScript frameworks in 2018: you spend more time setting them up than actually building your app.7

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

Sometimes I wonder if JavaScript is the wrong tool for the job. Then I remember that someone built an HTTP server out of bash.1

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

What do you call it when you type a script? A TypeScript. Then you spill coffee on it...
now it's a JavaScript.4 -
This rant is aimed towards those who hate on JavaScript developers and the JS language:
Dear Asshole,
I am a JavaScript developer by choice.
I think JavaScript is great.
I agree that JavaScript have some bad sides to it, but I believe that the community is driving good change to the ecosystem.
I appreciate other models of other languages.
I do not include 3rd party NPM modules without checking their source and credibility.
I will not use a framework (i.e. react, Vue, Anguler) if it's not needed.
And finally:
I can do any software engineering tasks a software engineer is supposed to do.
Kind regards,
Nedo-the-angry.21 -
Pings google, no losses in 1 hour!
And just as I run that JavaScript code on Node.js, the internet stops! Every fricking time!

Javascript! What a fucking horrible language it is.
I just wonder why this fucking language became this popular nowadays just performance is not a good reason to use this fucking language everywhere.

JavaScript classes don't need private fields. JavaScript doesn't even need classes.
STOP TRYING TO TURN JAVASCRIPT INTO JAVA.16 -
Who the hell decided to put 'null' in JavaScript when there is already an 'undefined'
...😤😡...
Like one empty value isn't enough24 -
JavaScript is the spawn of Satan and shouldn’t be used anywhere except for web browsers... change my mind26

If we are living in a simulation then I am pretty sure that the quantum mechanics part was written in javascript.2

Question:
Is it okay to be bad at JavaScript in 2018?
Really freaking hate my JavaScript skills and infinitely long list of frameworks7 -
Replace a semicolon (;) with a greek question mark (;) in your friend's JavaScript and watch them pull their hair out over the syntax error. #maxTroll1
-
Javascript is so funny
"0" == 0 //true
"" == 0 //true
"0" == "" //false
Always remember the ===
Realize this took me an hour of debugging7 -
Normal guy : it's hard to understand my girlfriend ...👯😣💩
Front-end Dev : Ha.. then try Javascript 😎1 -
JavaScript is ok. But I'm really hoping it will be fully replaced by webassembly within the next ten years.9
-
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 -
so i gave in and started learning JavaScript, its not as bad as i thought, really prefer the es6 stuff, makes some things so much simpler.6
-
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. -
Trying to learn es6 JavaScript and Vue js, whilst also maintaining sites using jquery.
My head is about to explode... -
I never understood why some developers _ before their Javascript variable or functions. Do they serve any purposes? Other they just make everything look bizarre12

Oracle has banned an app in the App Store because it contained “JavaScript” in the name... any ideas for the new name for JavaScript©️?

Trying to reflect JavaScript changes for about an hour on chrome to eventually realize that cache wasn't cleared..6

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 -
What the Fun Javascript!!!
'==' in Javascript is supposed to do type conversions, before comparing the two items.
Then...!!

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 -
It looks like packages on npm have "disappeared".

Gotta love javascript.2 -
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

Javascript:
How do you guys call your entry file (main.js, index.js etc)?
Do you have any sophisticated naming convention or are you just kinda vanilla about it? :P19 -

can you?
admittedly not strong in js, cuz I hate it

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 -

WHY IS JAVASCRIPT SO GOD DAMN RELIANT ON LIBRARIES?! DAMN!
Im just trying to learn React to compliment Python aiohttp :-(1 -
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 -
I fucking hate that in JavaScript we have the naming convention of index.js for entry points, whyyy? no sense, thanks node7

That dogmatic "always use === when writing JavaScript"... It's a matter of context, we just discovered a bug produced by that.12
-
That feeling when anything you do in any platform can be done in Javascript and most likely there already is a library for it1
-
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 -
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.9

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

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 decided it wanted to be a Prototype based language because it needed to feel special.
Freaking Prototypes.
Classes > Prototypes3 -
