Javascript! What a fucking horrible language it is.
I just wonder why this fucking language became this popular nowadays just performance is not a good reason to use this fucking language everywhere.

What performance?

@Awlex They (Javascript developers) say after chrome v8 engine Javascript performance get much better than before and get better than most dynamic languages.

it's popular because of how popular the web is. And javascript still has sucky parts because nobody wants to fix it. Backward comparability is very important. Javascript has some nice parts too though :-)

It allows frontend developers to write both frontend and backend apps with power of nodejs

Of course it is the language that is stupid. Not the programmer. It is never the programmer.

I feel between neutral and negative to it. I agree, it sucks. But it's a tool, nonetheless, and some pretty cool stuff can be done with it no matter how much we hate it :-)

I agree that JS shouldn't be used everywhere (and I'm a JS dev myself), but I wouldn't call it a bad language as such.

Those rant tags though SMH

When people say "Fuck *anything*" here I usually default to thinking the poster has very little understanding of it...

I was like you once, hated it. Now I freaking love it. It's so easy! You can do everything with half the work it seems

Are you jealous my friend? 😜

for(var x in this) {
/* create a new bug for every variable in the page */
bugs++;
}

I came from JAVA to Javascript, now i can't seem to go back.

Learning JS after learning Python, I abhor JS. Too many curly brackets, I hate ending with semi-colons, and for loops and variables make very little sense. I can see how it can be so powerful though.

However, I guess this is what you get with a language that was written in 10 days.
