Emploice muswashands

And drink half litre of vodka to erase the braincells that store JavaScript

People are afraid of things they don't understand ;)

@lnplum thanks for the advice, gonna check it out

@luseerr

Not afraid of, just don't need JavaScript.

@lnplum if you have to go such extreme lengths to ensure you write good code, then the language itself is bad.

Having said that, I am a frontend web dev by day so I having a good handle on JS is kinda necessary.

If you want a language that doesn't have those issues and compiles down to JS check out Elm. Its fully functional, strongly typed and its compiler kicks ass. No more undefined and null :)

@lnplum I agree completely - if it is your job then you should use the tooling in a "safe" manner.

A band saw is a tool just like JS, although unlike a band saw which comes with all the safety guards when you get the tool, with JS you just get naked JS so it's no wonder that so many web devs end up causing so much chaos.

I guess you want to go back to using Java applets in the browser... 😔

Do JS properly - learn TypeScript. And to do TS properly, learn Blazor (C# + Wasm).

@wowotek Lol, thought of the same thing.
