javascript is a language that's more concerned with making developers look cool than actually getting the job done

that's a stupid take. javascript is one of the most widely used languages for a reason - it gets the job done extremely well.

agree, javascript is too gimmicky. just give me something that works without all the bells and whistles.

what a dumb take. javascript has its issues but it's a powerful, versatile language that gets shit done. maybe you should learn it properly before talking out your ass.

you're speaking from experience or just reading others' reddit rants?

um, you think that's bad? try using php.

actually, someone care to explain to me how the js makes devs look cool and not functional?

damn, that's a terrible take. javascript is powerful and versatile, it gets the job done just fine.

yeah, that's why we spend more time writng fracking mime types and less time actually writing code

have you actually tried to do something with it lately or is this just another armchair genius commentary?

what have you actually built with another language that you think is doing it so much better?

javascript is the language of the future, where looking cool is the only prerequisite for getting anything done.

totally agree. it's like, half hte time i'm trying to code something and i'm fighting with the

yeah okay, so what's your go-to alternative then?

That's so true. I've spent more time refactoring code to fit someone's fancy 'functional programming' style than actually fixing bugs or improving performance

are you kidding me? js has gotten me out of some crazy tight spots and gotten the job done just

omg yes!! and don't even get me started on the documentation, it's like they expect you to already

that's a horrible take. javascript is incredibly powerful and versatile. it's one of the most widely used languages for a reason - it gets the job done extremely well.

that's some nonsense. javascript is a powerful language that gets the job done just fine. anyone who thinks it's just for looking cool doesn't know what they're talking about.

are you jealous of the time javascript devs spend styling their hex colors?

have you actually used it for a real project or are you just talking out your ass?

omg that's so true tho, all those hours spent debugging async code just so i can tweet "i'm a full stack dev

javascript is great and anyone who says otherwise is a moron. it gets the job done just fine.

javascript is more concerned with making devs look cool than getting the job done?

Are you kidding me? JS has revolutionized the web and is used by thousands of devs to create complex and amazing applications.

have you actually worked on a real project in js or are you just trolling

omg i feel this... and it's also super overused, like how many mediocre "startup" websites do we

javascript: teh language that's like a fancy sports car - it looks cool but can't take you to work on time.

what job is it not getting done? like, what are the actual issues you have with it?

wtf??? javascript is one of the most powerful and versatile languages out there.

javascript's ly the underlying backbone of most modern websites and apps, how can you say it's not about getting the job done?

lol ain't that the truth, i've spent more time formatting code than actually writing it

are you serious? js gets the job done just fine. Sounds like you just don't know how to use it

preach, and don't even get me started on all the library frameworks that change every 5 minutes.

Isn't that just a dream of every dev to make their code look neat and tricky instead of focusing on functionality?

seriously though, what makes you think your code is somehow exempt from the "make developers look cool" struggle? your aws lambda sfsdfsdf is just as style-over-substance to me

that's just ridiculous. javascript is an extremely powerful and versatile language that has transformed web development.

that's bullshit, javascript gets the job done just fine. what a lazy take.

are you kidding me? you think that's even a remotely fair criticism? js gets the job done just fine.

are you kidding me, javascript has literally changed the game for countless dev projects and industries, its complexity might be frustrating at times but it's also super versatile

have you ever actually tried to build anything with javascript?

omg same, i'm so over devs trying to show off with all this unnecessary async bs when a simple if statement would do

I completely agree, but it's also worth mentioning how often "cool" libs and frameworks have become a requirement for even the most straightforward projects.

yeah no kidding, i've been trying to be cool for hours and my backend still doesn't work

preach, and it's like the more obscure the solution, the cooler you are, right?

lol javascript is the perfect language for developers who want to look like they're doing important work while actually just playing with fancy syntax

i feel that. js is a trendy language but it has a lot of gotchas and unnecessary complexity.

i mean, they're not wrong. javascript is flashy af but it's also a pain in the ass to work with

Lol so true, and it's even worse when people overcomplicate simple tasks just to show off their "skills

are you kidding me? js is an actual language that gets used in real projects. Not just some theoretical bs.

um what's next? saying "people are more skilled at making wheel arrangements than actually building

i guess that's why we have so many devs struggling with ls tho

this. but it's also a language that's great for quickly building functional web apps, even if the code isn't always the prettiest.

^agree, i've had to rewrite projects from scratch because a bunch of "beautiful" code wasn't

javascript is the programming equivalent of wearing sunglasses indoors.

um, have ya tbh worked on any real-world projects that require scalability and performance before making such broad claims?

have you ever actually worked on a real project with a team or are you just trolling from a

are you kiddin me? js gets the job done just fine, its ppl who cant code that make it look bad

are you kiddin me? js is a powerhouse language that gets stuff done and your salty ass can't hang

have you even worked on a real js project or are you just running your mouth?

How many projects have you actually built with JavaScript to make that claim?

same, . and can we talk about how bloated the is now?

what's the last project you worked on that didn't use js?

u getting the job done or just talking crap about js on the internet?

really? you got a better language in mind that's more practical and less about looking cool?

Not arguing with that, but some of the "coolness" factor comes from the constant demand for devs to learn new frameworks and libraries to stay relevant in the industry...
