I am some Kind of angry right now.
Some of you may know the App "Jodel" (for those who don't: it is an app which lets you talk to strangers at in your city/near your location)

I am in an informatics-Channel and I feel a bit annoyed.

There is a groundless hate against JavaScript or Java, it seems because... People feel cool? It remembers me of the PHP-Hate. Clueless people are talking shit, even if the web is not even their programming-field of activity.

Someone just said that in js you can do any shit and it works.
- you can leave out semicolons. wow.

Another one meant that one problem is the unlogical backwards-conpatibility. "You have to look if the script is running on the browsers and on your engine."
- Isn't that part of any programming language? To see if it works?

I don't know what to say right now.
#ilovejs

Uhm btw.: Can someone explain me, what he meant with "engine"? I mean there is an interpreter, but "engine"?!

    People love to look down on other people,to feel better about themselfes.

    With engine he means, the Environment your code is running in, e.g. v8 engine or spidermonkey.

    They for example take care of allocating and releasing ram for your variables and lots of other things.

    why would you discuss coding on jodel anyway? I thougt that jodel is the place where teenagers tell jokes, rant about parents, and having quick hookups via kik messenger. 😃

    @heyheni *laughter* 😂😂

    I don't think we are Talking About the same Jodel Network...
    The Jodel social app i mean is where students of all type(mostly University)) can chat anonymously. I love the app because you notice that the Operators(a Young Startup) really care About he content.

    If you want to take a look:https://jodel.com/en/

    @HTMLspecialist He's definitely talking about the same app... Here (Switzerland) it has gone to utter shit, in my opinion, and is mostly populated by 13-16 year old angsty teenagers.

    Yup, a Javascript engine is something that interprets and executes the code. People get really confused about the Javascript Engine and a runtime. For most of the cases there are both an Engine and a Runtime, If you are using Chrome you got the V8 engine, there are others like spiderMonkey, chakra-core, JScore and a lot more depending upon the usage like for browsers to IOT devices. And the Javascript runtime is something that provides the necessary tools and services like your browser has a runtime which provides the window, DOM and stuffs and similarly node.js is also a runtime which helps to run js outside the browser... Hope this helps 😂😂😂
