My friend had managed to move up viewport with pure javascript...

'this' in JavaScript

Enough said :|

Friend: What's your favorite language?

Me: Javascript.

Friend: But it isn't a programming language.

Me: *throws keyboard at her face*

why so much hate towards javascript? :-D

Me learning JavaScript
Step 1 console.log("hello world")
Step 2 change the devrant avatar t shirt to js

We need more JS devs for our frontend.
After half a year of PM complaining that he doesn’t find devs, he finally came back to us:
„Sorry guys, I found two devs, but they are not Java developers, they only do JavaScript“
Me:
Team:
*both speechless*
TeamLead: „... wait, you searched for Java devs half a year?“

Lmao

Javascript is McDonald's.

1) everyone says they hate it....but they just keep going back.

2) very few people admit they keep gong back...

3) When McDonald's started doing salads, dressing nice, and delivering to tables it seemed a little much, you're a burger place. A few years later I'm writing my app in react JS, serving up eJS templates with my NodeJS server, running off a NOSQL JSon database, and munching down a Greek salad from McD's.

4) you start your burger (project) with high hopes. As you eat though....you start to regret it, but oh well, you're halfway in. By the end, never again, last time. A little while later, npm asks you if you'd like fries with that.

Feel free to disagree or add more!

Doing a straight-forward "if" seems too complicated. Let's reverse the logic.

*Me trying to flirt with her*

Me: "Programming turns me 1."

She: "JavaScript turns me true."

Guess who spent whole day searching some good js tutorials on web today ??

Interviewer: Who created JavaScript?
Me: ... Seriously?
Interviewer: Completely

WTF? First time I face that kind of question in an interview... For the record, I didn't know the answer, according to Wikipedia Brendan Eich created JS

I went to shop to take a break from JavaScript project...

JS is everywhere

Cat.js meme

"10"+20+30 is "102030"
10+"20"+30 is "102030"
But ...
10+20+"30" is "3030"

One must love JavaScript

All JavaScript developers will understand :|

When you accidentally leave a console.log in your code that goes into production that says: "I'm fucking working!!!" and notice it a year later when fixing a bug.

[] == []; // false
[] < []; // false
[] > []; // false
[] <= []; // true
[] >= []; // true

at work

Confession:
I actually like to code with JavaScript.

It's a terrible language, yes, but I find it fun to work with.

I was presenting a paper about "P5.js". My line began with "P5.js is a javascript library ... (and I went on)".

After my conclusion one of the judges asked me "Is this based on JavaScript?"

My reply "No sir, Magic!".

(Funny part - Got first prize.)

Javascript developer interview

One of the RH interviewers started asking about myself, personal information, etc..

He : well, let me introduce you our tech lead, he will make you some question about JS

Me : alright

Tech Lead : ummm, do you know javascript?

Me : yes..?

Tech Lead : ok, cool. We will call you.

I got the job..

😅😅😅

/*The following dialogue is an excerpt from an actual conversation I had a couple of hours ago*/

Microsoft support:
Please check that you've installed the correct version of JavaScript in the Control panel.

Me: JavaScript isn't standalone software.

MS: Are you sure you downloaded JS from Oracles website then?

Me: *ended the chat*

Just spent 30 minutes trying to work out why my page will not load a JavaScript file even though I could manually browse to the file:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/js" href="js/home.js" />

I then proceeded to take a 5 minute walk around the office and rethink my life decisions...

I was working on a nodejs project and this fella came to me.
He: Hey, I want to learn JS, how much time is it gonna take me get onto it?
Me: You know Java?
He: Yh :) I know java pretty good!
Me: Well, its gonna take forever thn..

😂😂🤣

I don't want to live on this planet anymore

Me: why do people hate javascript?
Also Me after 5 mins of js coding :
Oh right now i remember why

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 users

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

!rant but recommendation:
"JavaScript: The Good Parts" Douglas Crockford.

I really like this book.
It's chewed away my misconceptions of JS. Especially coming from C++.

Small and precise.
JSON, JSLint and JSMin developer is the author.

Just got a message from a recruiter that contained this sentence: "I have the JS attached for your review". Took me a while to realise JS meant job specification and not JavaScript (which is required for the role).

There must be some sort of punishment for those who write JavaScript "Java Script"

function getTrue() {
return true;
}

Wut? You serious?

Last week, i was giving my interview for a web development internship!
They asked me
what is the difference between :-
{} +[]
and
[]+{}
:(

Weird parts of JS strikes back :(

I just saw a code from 5 years ago .. WTH I was doing ?!!

I was young, I was foolish ....

Silicon valley season 1 - episode 10

Filename: devrewrite_v092.js

A javascript file running html code

Basically,
1+infinity = 1
But
infinity + 1 = NaN
My entire maths fundamental shuttered by the beautiful JS language....

Javascript moving to fast...

when you thought you know everything about JavaScript

Looking at the number of JavaScript frameworks that are popping up these days..
a day will come, when human race will get extinct and only JS frameworks will survive like cockroaches..!!

I have found myself more confused than a chameleon in a bag of skittles because I can't figure out why my ajax(beginform()) won't fire off any of the JS functions I write.

Did my Googles and that didn't help. Verbally abused my monitor and rubber duck, didn't help. I've got a blood sacrifice to the Javascript gods scheduled for tomorrow. Maybe that'll work.

Absolutely :|

Build systems
Testing tools
Performance tools
Debugging tools
Automation tools

True :|

I attempted an online test for a Java Developer role at a pretty big company.
The test had a JavaScript question.

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Just to clarify, the job description had no mention of JS

Here, take your daily dose of javasript

timeless

Those who eat Indian food will understand ;)

Just so you know.
In node js.
You can use emojis as methods names. For real.

FUTURE 😄

Me - I want to work on Java.
Boss - you are working on Java right?
Me - no, just Angular JS
Boss - yes it's the same right... Angular Js, JavaScript, java

Me - (hmmmm, what if I had just said angular, would he assume I was doing geometry?)

You know your Javascript is good when you see this....

JavaScript math is hard.

JavaScript.. FTW😉😎

Seriously, wtf is with the new "make-everything-in-javascript" thing?

JavaScript is a terrible language. The type safety, or rather lack of it, gives me nightmares about debugging. The standards are always different. It's way too flexible. Ugh.

I'm tired of all the awesome services that I'd love to use being centralized over Node and JS. I don't want to use your stupid fucking language. Who does?

Also what happened to that dart thing that was supposed to replace JS?

Once I was frustrated by a Javascript bug

So I Googled "Retarded JS'"

And holy fuckkk

I found a npm module 😁

Then I Googled "Asshole JS"

Holy mother of all fuckkks

I FOUND THE COOLEST JS LIBRARY EVER 😁😂

Try this code in JS:
++[[]][+[]]+[+[]]
This is valid and returns the string "10" in JavaScript  :)))

Source: in comment👇

Because JavaScript :|

My computing teacher says that html is his favourite programming language to teach.

He calls JavaScript Java

Needless to say he's not very good at teaching us html and js.

I wonder why there is a new JavaScript framework every 10 minutes. Could the issue be with the JS language itself?

Naaaaaaaah .... Impossible .....

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.

One of my favourite pastimes is to find ways to highlight what a mess JavaScript is.

Time to rant about JavaScript tutorials.

If you don't know the 'jQuery basic arithmetic' joke, Google it now. It'll make you laugh, promised.

In that manner i just remembered a JavaScript tutorial my fiancee tried to follow when she did an internship at the company i work for last year.

She was tasked to create a temperature interface for our server rack, which she wanted to do via an Arduino and a webserver aswell as an SQL database.

The Arduino part wasn't really a problem, but since she had no experience with js she very closely clinged to a chart visualisation tutorial.

All of that worked very well, but beeing the person i am i looked at the code and found something off.

The chart library had no dependencies to external libraries or any local files for any of them. Though the tutorial used a jQuery import.

So why did it use jQuery?
Well...
To load the chart initialization after the page has loaded.

So they pulled the entirety of jQuery in just to do what fucking window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',function(){...}); could have done.

I wonder how many people who just want something to work did this shit. I hate it that so many tutorials do not adhere any kinds of standards, override behavior because they don't like it, even though it may have a very good reason to exist, pull entire libraries in for something vanilla <language> can do in 3 lines, etc.

Fuck.

So it appears that by a good bit, JavaScript is either the Least Hated or the Most Loved language among ranters here. Interesting.

Come to think of it, most JS-related rants I've seen here were making fun of the number of Frameworks.

When you notice that the sum of two empty arrays is an empty string in JavaScript

js> [ ]+[ ]
""

No other language can do something as fucky as javascript.

"7 high severity vulnerabilities"
$> npm audit fix --force
"13 vulnerabilities (11 high, 2 critical)"

How is this fixed?!

It will be a great day when JS finally prolapses under the weight of its own hubris.

Node.js 8.9.0 being the first official Node.js 8 release to hit LTS status.
😍😍😍😍😍

We all have that colleague...

...I am that colleague.

Potato is not just a word.. 😎😎

With all these JS frameworks around, I'm surprised that there isn't a .js TLD yet.

JavaScript is the ugly girl freshman year with glasses and acne. Typescript is the beautiful women she became senior year and won prom queen. Hate on JavaScript all you want because it was a language written in 2 weeks but the new releases with es6 and now typescript are a far cry from the js people were written back in the day. The times they are a changing -Bob Dylan.

Senior JS Dev where I'm contracting can't understand why null != "null"

js js everywhere. :p

The JavaScript everywhere trend.

Sure it's possible and the language develops at a fast pace since ES6 but JS like any other language just is not suited for everything. I think JS will stay in server side automation and as scripting language for customisation but not how it is abused now in electron or even node.js.

There will be better solutions if they are not already there.

Just completed Object oriented JavaScript course and I have to say, the creaters of JS must have smoked some good shit before they the came up with this clusterfuck.

Now most popular

😁

I hate JS...
I hate CSS...

What can be worse ? ...

*guy at work* : hey what do you think about CSS in JS, should we try it for our codebase ?
*other* : yeah why not ?
Me : *make a gun with my fingers, gently putting it in my mouth, remember all good things in life, no regrets* *gun noise*

Kidding, I love javascript.
But I seriously hate CSS and UX stuff.

Thats me using javascript with no Love!

JavaScript Certified 😎🤓 its an MTA but still i got it on the first try even though i havent programmed in JS in a year 😅

Just JavaScript things:
alert(typeof NaN); //alerts 'Number' alert(NaN === NaN); //evaluates false
What else would you expect?

The worst thing about JavaScript is it's name.

Python developers starts writing his code with indentation and on multiple lines. Javascript developers look at him and writes the entire script in one line. Php developers looks at python and js developer and starts writing $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Man! I love refactoring! 👨🏻‍💻😍
Only saved about 20 lines but it went from ugly string manipulation to beautiful JavaScript objects!

Trying to figure the egnima that is javascript 😂😂

After hours of debugging my js script, I finally found out that all my trouble came from a variable that contained the string “true“ instead of a boolean value. I kinda hate javascript now...

I agreed to help a friend setup a BTC atm... Jesus I just found out the client is written in JavaScript (notoriously bad with numbers).

Im starting to wonder if Js has gone too far.

Ok, Why tha Fuck does everyone bitch about javascript, like seriously why?
Its a damn great language and i have fun working with it. sure some people prefer other languages but it seems people who haven't even tried JS properly talk shit about it.

I am falling in love with JavaScript again and again.
Node.js is something very awesome happened to JS.

okay if you think i hate javascript just because it's popular you're partially wrong, i hate js because it's popular and shit, i wouldn't go shitting on vba, because it died and got replaced by a better language.

it's like shitting on sword art online.

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!

So fuckin hot right now :|

There exist two kinds of developers

Starting the javascript journey wish me luck

All I wanted was stickers for my laptop, cuz it's quite costly in India ($2 for a single JS), and that led me to this place.
But now I'm kinda liking it.
I'm so proud of this community.

I just realized, that not just my name is Jason, like JSON. I also have the same birthday, as the creator(Brendan Eich) of JavaScript (and Brave + Mozilla)
That's gotta be a calling for me to really get into JS

Js developers be like: oh I'm free this weekend oh well I better create a new JavaScript library

I love that JS allows for variable swapping,
thanks to structuring / de-structuring.

```JavaScript
[ a , b ] = [ b , a ]
```

Thats all, lol.

So recently I needed to make a little Tic-tac-toe game with Node.JS for an university project. I previously learned Java and C# so Javascript as a non-compiled, script based language was something new for me.

Now during the programming process I reached the point where I needed to implement a function to change the player who's playing.

I was testing the game and... It seemed like the player was changed twice so it immediately switched back to the previous player.

Using a lot of console.log's I finally stumbled upon the error... (since Javascript or at least Visual Studio Code, I honestly don't know, doesn't have any kind of debugger or something).

Why the fuck does js allow to make allocations in if conditions?

I accidentally wrote one '=' instead of three '==='.

No error, no warning... Nothing.

Since then js and me are not friends anymore.

No matter how many frameworks and supersets I try, I always conclude that nothing beats vanilla JS. ES6 in particular is such a beautiful language, and I love having fine control over what happens under the hood.

When I'm done I can just transpile it to whatever ES version, although it's slowly becoming a non-issue.

Nobody:

Overexcited new devs: JavaScript framework 178946252 is so awesome dude

😒

I smell JavaScript.

Person: Can you suggest me some good resource for learning JavaScript?

Developer: You don't Know JS

Person: (Gets offended) I know JS, I wish to have in depth knowledge for JavaScript.

Developer: Hmmm.....

If you are writing a new javascript framework, remember. No NEW JS Framework 2018. Thank You.

Who is the son of JavaScript?

JSon

It is ridiculous how many javascript frameworks out there. Just combine any nounce + JS, I guarantee you, there is Github repo existed already!

You have a JavaScript application. You have to keep up with stupid devs that don't know TypeScript because you don't have the time to let them study it and they get demotivated when they can't do stuff so fine, you keep it JS. You use JSDoc to write the documentation. You miss using TypeScript so you start doing some @typedef's. Oh your linter gets it and starts behaving as a substitute of TypeScript. You get excited and write more and more @typedef's! ... until they get so complicated that you start documenting *that*...

I love javascript, but sometimes it's just an incredibly stupid language, such as when undefined variables get interpreted as string literal "undefined" when concatenating strings. I like it better how, for example, PHP handles undefined values, that nulls just turn into "". Better still: typed languages, where most stupid mistakes are caught already at compilation, instead of having to spend hours to track down where that mysterious "undefined" comes from. As I said, I love javascript - because it is easy to code, flexible and forgiving in many ways. But I hate it for the exact same reason, for being such a sloppy fluffy...thing, and a bugger to debug. If javascript would be an animal, it would be a cute and cuddly cat that you instantly find adorable, but it's actually quite fat and lazy, plus its fur is littered with ticks and other bugs.

Can anyone tell me why is it good to use some crap language that transpiles to javascript? Yes i hate js too but 90% of my time using reason/ts/elm is just

>ddg how to do x in y
>no answer
>Js.unsafe.eval "js code"

Like???? None of them is a 100% complete wrapper???

When your egghead boss (who is a dev, BTW) fails miserably in understanding that JavaScript fetch does not behave like the default synchronous nature of requests in Python.

After failing to make him learn about the asynchronous nature of JavaScript promises, he ends the discussion by saying "that's why python is better than js"
*facepalm*

node js hipsters bother me...Not every problem is solved with javascript!!!!

I’ve been seeing a lot of developers claiming “JavaScript sucks” because they do stuff like:

10 + window * [“JS sucks lol”] / {a: []}

What do you expect?

Javascript with or without semicolons? Why?

fuck javascript
node.js module system sucks. Like its module system is trash, who will want to download some fucking 1GB worth of packages to create a new project.
People keep on just creating other package managers. Yarn is good enough because it caches your packages but still, i am just from deleting some 2.2Gb node modules from my computer and just whyy ?
An area where internet connection us shitty and expensive it is just not very well.
Fuck javascript is everywhere so i have to use it,

typescript just adds another layer to the heavy lifting. You write some typed code to 'reduce bugs' but you generate much more heavy code. I could write in 1kb js file but i end up getting some 3kb js because what - i used typescript-ügvjpiahdjb

fuck javascript

Lovely JavaScript brothers!

*literally any arithmetic operation which is hideously wrong*
Almost every JS dev : Is this JavaScript?

TIL that javascript was named so to leech of the popularity of java. This clears a lifetime of confusion thanks.

src: O'Reilly learning PHP, MYSQL and JS

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.

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.

Trying to learn es6 JavaScript and Vue js, whilst also maintaining sites using jquery.

My head is about to explode...

typeof NaN === typeof NaN //false

Why?

Nuke.js

A JS framework to nuke all the other js frameworks. Sadly, it's taken.

Whenever I code in javascript I feel like I need a shower afterwards. Told my wife it's like going to amsterdam's red light district with all the different frameworks and libraries it has.

I give it to the frontend guys. I couldn't do it ever day.

Got praised today by an important guy in my company for writing understandable javascript code. He said he'd gladly learn js if I were to teach it.
feelsgoodman.jpg

According to Javascript, null is a number.

@skayo are you still around?
I have wish 😊
Could you please make a devRant Bot for answering to newbies?

Like... rookie: "halp i want to learn JavaScript, what should i do?"
heyheni: @ newbiebot js
newbiebot: Hi @ rookie welcome to dev Rant. The community for developers to rant and vent. Here are some free JavaScript learning resources
- freecodecamp
- scrimba
- JavaScript 30
...
Best of luck!

rookie: but i want to do android apps to!
heyheni: @newbiebot android
Newbiebot: hi welcome...

what do you think?

Why am I a horrible person for following standard linting and thus not using semicolon in my JavaScript code? I write Golang and Elixir which they don't have them and thus it is for me more natural to not have them in JS as well.

DOM Manipulation using VanillaJS. It's painfully fun.

I've seen lots of other ranters complain about huge code files... I just came across 27k Javascript extension for a software like Postman ...

First I thought cool I can work on it since it's JS, then 27k of lines later: I think I'll go sleep .-.

Am I the only one who is sick of the Javascript, Javascript frameworks and anything ending with .js

That moment your realise your entire desktop enviroment is powered by JavaScript... and to think when I started writing js it wasn't a 'real' language :P
(running linuxmint with cinnamon desktop)

I've been given an intern to help me with my work (lol it's not helping) and she knows almost nothing of web dev, not even what Nodejs is, I had to explain it and guide her step by step on how to install it on her laptop. On her CV it says she has JavaScript experience, but she cannot even put together a basic HTML page, she asked me what a div is. As far as I know, HTML, CSS and JS are pieces of the same pie and you cannot really work with JS unless you also work with HTML and CSS. I think she lied on her CV and I need to tell my manager.

My question is, is it normal to know JavaScript and not know much about HTML and CSS?

While taking the basic JS interview:

Me: what are the different data types in JavaScript

Candidate: We have a 'var' keyword

Me: :|

Using JavaScript... (we combine JS and c++ and I love c++ ... definitely not JS)
It is such a mess to maintain and work with and I never had any propensity or interest towards web development.. especially JS

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.

Thanks for that p5.js. Very informative.

Well... Justy trying to migrate from Android to JavaScript development... Everything seems to be ugly in this world of functions... I really can't understand why JS is so popular, It is totally incapable language.

Doing some math with Javascript is like doing math with my six year old son.

//Doing $hit to get stickers
Rant r = new Rant();
if(r.isSeen()){
if(r.PLUS < 30){

Legit question: Why are there so many people coding in javascript while so many people are saying it is actually a bad language? Why is everybody coding in a "bad" language?

looks up JavaScript question, gets jQuery answer

Are you kidding me? Does anyone even do plain JS anymore?? D:

Adobe's ExtendScript toolkit is abyssmal. I find posts from 2008 referring to issues that have not changed even in CC2017. Do you think they are small issues I'm bitching about? I'll list 2. First, the toolkit only colours "var, return, for, foreach" and a bit more keywords and the strings, of course you can set up color schemes but those are limited and not colouring stuff. The second issue is auto-complete, it rarely kicks in and suggestions have 0 connection to what are you doing and are always the same. It doesn't recognize anything of what are you doing.

Probably in 2008 you had to program with the manual near you like writing assembler, now there's an improvement in 2017, they got a window named object browser or something like that that actually is a summarised portable manual that could've been easily transformed in auto-complete suggestions.

Adobe writes about this and I quote: "a complete integrated development environment". Although I will not write much scripts in it, I need to write a big one and thought about extracting that object data and putting it in a more capable javascript editor. LO and Behold what I discovered, the ExtendScript Toolkit that's supposed to edit Extended javascript and save it as jsx or jsxbin is almost completely (it has some dlls too) built using around 100 jsx files. It's the equivalent of building a js IDE to edit js.

Sorry for formatting, I'm on mobile, I tried.

What the fuck is so bad about JavaScript??? Like really. Everyone hates it but why? Developers HEAR JavaScript mentioned and immediately throw shit. Why?? JS is my go-to.

If you think JavaScript is dirty, you have never seen Android Java

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 browsers

Javascript is passion..

There is nothing better to code on a cool midsummer afternoon on a Friday with sour favorite music. It's just makes me happy!

JavaScript doesn't care. It objectifies everything.

When you want to make an unlinked copy:

JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj))

Holy mother Jesus, so many hours before I realised this. Really js!? Really...

Want to learn a new programming language. My main language is JavaScript and I spent most of my team learning to create full stack applications with it, but I would like to learn a second language to focus on. (I already have some experience in Java and Python and JavaScript wasn't my first language but I like JS)

Are there any languages that you could suggest me?

Its fucked up when you get null as a fuckin string ("null") from backend API and it breaks your javascript code
:/

Not Christian, but this is funny.

['1', '7', '11'].map(parseInt)
// and this returns...
// drumroll please
[1, NaN, 3]

WAT

I swear to god I will never use javascript again.

Object.prototype.shit

and now all my objects have access to shit

I am Hindu, we already have so many gods
And I am planning to create one more 'Javascript God'

For giving me 'wealth' , satisfaction, purpose and meaning in life

😁 Holy JS 😁

Everytime I scroll through here I see people complaining about JS and frameworks being made for it. Well think about it, would you rather have to use old buggy JavaScript or help the community and the language achieve better standards? Just look at ES6 and ways to write code and JavaScript really isn't that bad. It's just misunderstood.

Who else feels like your JavaScript skills are lacking? I have only been coding for about 6 month's and JS for about 2 1/2 of it but still I am not an expert and I understand. But still . . .😥

Our fucking life is short, we all going to die sooner or later, thats sad. To make the matter worse, every fucking software will eventually be written in Javascript. Fuck.

A JavaScript developer want to understand my 1000+ lines pythonic python code without any prior knowledge about python and he just want to understand it so that he can translate it into js. What should i do?

Since JavaScript is so widely used, do you think the market will continue to adopt JavaScript into everything for the next, say, 25 years, or will the market eventually have some catastrophic shift towards other technologies, placing JS back in the passenger seat?

Personally I love JS for some solutions but prefer using a diverse array of technologies for different tasks

So i'm visiting the JavaScript bubble every now and then when i'm writing on the userscript i develop to fix bugs in our ticketing system or fix some clients website they negelected. Every time i'm searching for answers to the weird problems that inevitably turn up i have to filter out all the threads that derail with the classic 'google jQuery basic arithmetic plugin' craziness to find an actual vanilla solution to my problem.

All the time i wonder why on earth people put up with this framework hell. This is part serious question and part rant but seriously, how did we come to this? With all that jQuery, React, Node, whatever stuff i'm kinda losing the overview over what's even todays standard. I always try to keep my code as vanilla as possible without using external libraries. But it seems the entire web development industry is heading the completly other way. I tried to look into a few frameworks but i never really see the appeal. Just now i looked up react native because the last 20 rants talked about it and immediately noped out because they fucking create a DOM in js, why the fuck would you do this?!

Worst thing about this framework shithole is that some frameworks are beeing pulled into the mix for very weird and unnecessary reasons. Best example is a charts library i recently used to visualize a database of temperatures that was completely written in native js but pulled jQuery in for the equivalent of window.addEventListener('load',function(stuff)) and i was furious. I rewrote the code and could throw out the jQuery dependency with no problem. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Alright since you made it here: I'm not trying to throw any of you under the bus for using frameworks. I just fail to understand why you would use these. To each their own and unless your site has the performance of the ticketing system i use at work that takes like 15 seconds to load one fucking page i won't complain at all. But pull in a framework just to do a task you can easily do in native js in remotely the same timeframe you are on my list.

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 it

What's my opinion on JavaScript? Oh, I can't really complain about it...

...because by the time I've finished my sentence the framework has changed.

Junior front end developer.

Interest in saas, js and jQuery,
1 year html5 and JavaScript, knowledge of image authoring (Photoshop)

Job is wordpress customisation.

18k... Degree in media required.

So you want a graphic designer for junior developer wage.. lol.

When you simultaneously work on python (back) and javascript (front) and you start printing in js and console.logging in python

A lot of people have already said it but I'm gonna say it again: Javascript. I think that we will be able to code everything in JS, in addition to its native language.

So any tips for the beginner/aspiring Javascript Developer? Got to be a handful of you hanging around here.

I love javascript

So a 'const' value can definitely change :|

JavaScript ES6 :|

What do you dislike the most working in JavaScript (ES6)?

REPOST (since people focused on an unescaped dot rather than on the problem matter).

Has anyone noticed how bad javascript's regex is?
21st century and it still doesn't return capture groups with separate indexes.

regex.exec and str.match doesn't return them either.

In my opinion people hate JavaScript just because it's different from other languages.
Why people hate coercion? It's useful if you know how to use it. Or dynamic typing.
What's your opinion about?

How is that there are so many JavaScript frameworks and fkn no actual way to learn. Tried vue js, this fucker doesn't work half the time, I'm under a no sleep mod tablet, thought it'd help me but I am just raging right now.
