Every programming language has it's own weakness but we still learned it and pretend it will never happened to us.
Moral of the story : JUST LEARN PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE THAT CAN MAKE YOU MORE MONEY NOT THE ONE YOU LIKE, BECAUSE YOU NEED MONEY
“JavaScript” isn’t so bad with React + Next + Typescript + Lodash + …
of there was proof that chickens could contribute to the Ecmascript standard I would probably stop being vegan tbf
if cows could be on the C++ committee i would eat nothing but hamburgers
If a chicken could code, it would probably work like JavaScript. This is accurate.
When I had a flock, for example, sometimes one would flip over a bucket onto itself and then decide it must be night and go to sleep.
What if it was on purpose?
I wish I could go to sleep at any time of day with just a bucket.
Flying short distances and ability to expand your neck like 4x also looks cool.
if a chicken could code, it would use CHICKEN.
Oh this is actually a real thing I was rolling my eyes like "just show me the clicks and clucks in the code"
I’ve been programming in typescript recently, and can I say. I fucking hate JavaScript and typescript. It’s such a pain so much odd behaviors.
I like custom types and them being able to follow custom interfaces; it makes for great type safety that almost no other language can guarantee!
What I'm saying is I'm learning Rust.
Exactly
Wait, do vegetables have good feelings or evil ones??
Even more evil, trust me, I lived with one once
I find the hardest part about eating vegetables is getting around the wheelchair.
Replace the bathtub with a cooking pot and you'll have your vegetables slide in just like that.
Hol' up a minute
Honestly the meme of 'JavaScript bad' is so tired and outdated it's ridiculous. It made sense 14 years ago before invention of Typescript and ES5/6+, but these days it basically just shows ignorance or the blind regurgitation of a decade old meme.
Typescript is hands down the most pleasant language to work in, followed closely by the more modern compiled ones like Go, Swift, C#, and miles ahead of widely used legacy ones like Java, and PHP etc. and the white space, untyped, nightmare that is python.
I'm like 99% sure that it's just because JavaScript / Typescript is so common that for anyone who doesn't start with it, it's the second language they learn, and at that point they're just whiny and butthurt about learning a new language.
Nothing says language of the year better than a language that needs to be compiled to an inefficient interpreted language made for browsers and then grossly stuffed into a stripped out Chrome engine to serve as backend. All filled with thousands of dependencies badly managed through npm to overcome the lack of a standard library actually useful for backend stuff.
As a TypeScript dev, TypeScript is not pleasant to work with at all. I don't love Java or C# but I'd take them any day of the week over anything JS-based. TypeScript provides the illusion of type safety without actually providing full type safety because of one random library whose functionality you depend on that returns and takes in any instead of using generic types. Unlike pretty much any other statically typed language, compiled TypeScript will do nothing to ensure typing at runtime, and won't error at all if something else gets passed in until you try to use a method or field that it doesn't have. It will just fail silently unless you add type checking to your functions/methods that are already annotated as taking in your desired types. Languages like Java and C# would throw an exception immediately when you try to cast the value, and languages like Rust and Go wouldn't even compile unless you either handle the case or panic at that exact location. Pretty much the only language that handles this worse is Python (and maybe Lua? I don't really know much about Lua though).
TLDR; TypeScript in theory is very different from TypeScript in practice and that difference makes it very annoying to use.
Bonus meme:
I have next to no experience with TypeScript, but want to make a case in defence of Python: Python does not pretend to have any kind of type safety, and more or less actively encourages duck typing.
Now, you can like or dislike duck typing, but for the kind of quick and dirty scripting or proof of concept prototyping that I think Python excels at, duck typing can help you get the job done much more efficiently.
In my opinion, it's much more frustrating to work with a language that pretends to be type safe while not being so.
Because of this, I regularly turn off the type checking on my python linter, because it's throwing warnings about "invalid types", due to incomplete or outdated docs, when I know for a fact that the function in question works with whatever type I'm giving it. There is really no such thing as an "invalid type" in Python, because it's a language that does not intend to be type-safe.
That’s just what I’d expect an evil chicken to say.
I learned today, that in JavaScript
[2,-2,6,-7].sort()
results in
[-2,-7,2,6]
WTF is it casting it to string or something?
You can bet your pants it does!
This 💩 is 🍌s

Typescript is hands down the most pleasant language to work in
Agreed. But doesn't make "JavaScript bad" any less true..
Few people use just Typescript, though - there's always dangerously exposed native libraries in the mix.
JavaScript bad!
Hahaha! True
