It’s a comic by Hannah Hillam
I’ve recently started writing JS recently, after writing C, go, shell and ruby for years.
Ended up with this gem in my code:
var total = +qty + +pool[0] - +pool[1];I hate it.
Anything is a nail if you hammer it hard enough.
Though modern JS is way better than what it was before, and in my opinion is evolving in a good direction. It also pays my bills, so I couldn’t complain even if I wanted.
Member Node.js? I member.
I’m making an app with SvelteKit, the frontend and the backend at the same time, in Typescript, I love it.
The SvelteKit + TypeScript combo is such a breeze to work with!
And compared to other languages, JavaScript scores pretty well in performance benchmarks. It has a lot more going for it than people give it credit for.
Use TypeScript
It’s a slight improvement, but you’re still inheriting the whole Js ecosystem, tooling, and most of the quirks of Js. There are far better languages you can use on the server, so I really don’t understand the appeal of using a Js based backend.
