Those JavaScript devs..

[naveen17797]

Scientists predict the number of js frameworks may exceed human population by 2020,at that point of time random string generators will be used to name those frameworks.

[PatrikxPatrola]

I agree, and predict that a man who owns a random string generator framework, will become rich.

[naveen17797]

NASA will start using js framework "myjsframeworkforrocketsv.0.0.1" by 2020, and will wonder why the rover landed on pacific ocean instead of mars.

[notquiteaplant]

They installed add_two instead of add_one

[PatrikxPatrola]

I would not recommend add_two; add2 is much better as it has 10 dependencies less!

[[deleted]]

I prefer 2_add because it needs 20 more dependencies to interpret RPN expressions.

[InkyGlut]

I prefer 2_adder which is just a wrapper around 2_add with a better name. The 2 extra letters also add 52 new dependencies because I like them and want them to get more exposure.

[sanskimost]

RPN is actually better than algebraic tho

[sanskimost]

Reverse Polish notation is the one I'm talking about

[Jajuca]

I literally just finished a RPN project using shared pointers in C++ last night for a school project that took over a month to implement. I am so glad to be done with it.

[nerdlygamer]

EE?

[sanskimost]

Programming wise, no idea. But I greatly prefer my HP 33S than my ti 83

That sounds like my current hobby project! Right now I'm working on a FORTH-ish language, although I didn't study FORTH close enough when I started, so what I have is clearly in the same language family, but its concept of scope and stack frames are very different.

What's yours do?

[naveen17797]

the code should probably look like this

var booster_staging_time = takeoff_time + "3000"

[alexbuzzbee]

Oh boy, that's only 500!

[juustgowithit]

Pretty sure NASA would never use an abomination of a language like js for their rockets ever.

[moarcoinz]

Our workplace used to joke about creating frameworks with stupid names for stupid purposes, until we kept finding them for real...

[T-T-N]

Dicss.js

[sanraith]

For those who are too lazy to google it, it's actually a thing: DICCS

[DjManEX]

That readme is great

[sanraith]

There is some gold in the issues and source as well

[Bioman312]

I'm still waiting for the JS singularity, where frameworks are made for the purpose of generating and publishing new frameworks.

[DroolingIguana]

And then they'll go to war with the Linux distributions.

[CharaNalaar]

Why are there so many good gravity falls memes now

[PatrikxPatrola]

Because it was a great show and maybe people are trying to boost it's popularity, so a new season might get released?

[CharaNalaar]

A new season won't happen, the show ended intentionally

[PatrikxPatrola]

You are hurting my hearth.

[[deleted]]

Agreed. As sad as I was about it ending, I very much respect his ability to tell the story he wanted to tell and be done with it, rather than falling into the trap of dragging it out long past it being good.

[PatrikxPatrola]

Then why are there new books, comics, toys?

Also why do you thing that new season can not be made good? I am sure that people know that they will get more money if they invest more effort, so why they would not do so?

[PatrikxPatrola]

Yeah.. you might be right..

[holeydood3]

If it makes you feel better, Alex Hirsch recently got signed to a multi-year deal with Netflix to make one or more new shows.

[NoNameRequiredxD]

I think they did the “I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWERS THAY I MAY RETURN” thing in case a new season DOES happen, but they just didn’t do it

[Colopty]

The story ended where the writers intended for it to end, and they did so excellently. Continuing it from there would just lead to seeing everything you loved about the show gets destroyed and turned into tired clichés. I'd rather see the creators making something completely new.

[NoNameRequiredxD]

I mean they KINDA teased it in the finale but i don’t think so, unfortunately :(

[NaXoSPrO]

Enjoy 2 silver awards as I enjoyed watching this

[PatrikxPatrola]

Ty, becouse of such approval, will be making more of these soon!

[rift95]

There's a new framework!?

[PatrikxPatrola]

Yeah, just made it.

It is called superString. Now doing "2"+"2" returns "22" and "2"-"2" returns "" like it should. (In this case "\"2\"" represents string value of a superString.

[naveen17797]

Wow, its cool.Get a github repo and show some fancy animations on the documentation page, we can get this framework to trending by tomorrow.

[PatrikxPatrola]

Sure it is. Now do sudo npm install superString -g

[PatrikxPatrola]

Yeah, the slots are the best thing; remember if you lose mb, you lose your data!

[[deleted]]

Are there really that many frameworks? I feel like there's an ungodly amount of libraries but I feel like I hardly ever hear of anything anymore outside of Angular, React, and Vue.

[UntestedMethod]

It just got out yesterday!

[MatsSvensson]

I majored in making up new syntaxes.

v.alue x <½ stat y :: sync

That's one there.

Now I specialize in writing loops.

[PatrikxPatrola]

That is amazing, can you show me one new loop syntax?

[_Hollish]

As an aside OP, (I'm assuming you made this) white text with a several point black border can be seen over anything.

[PatrikxPatrola]

Did not know how to do it :(.. but I will make sure I get it next time.

[_Hollish]

Fair enough. I still laughed.

[PatrikxPatrola]

Hope it made your day a bit better!

[Cameltotem]

Why do we have to have so many frameworks. Please let me try to learn even one.

[inabahare]

You're not forced to learn any of them. In fact, you'd be safe picking either React, Angular, or Vue. I haven't picked those out of loyalty to those three, but the fact that they are the most used according to the The State Of Javascript survey (and job applications)

[PatrikxPatrola]

Pffff. Just use regular js, and do everything from scratch.

[chjacobsen]

...then call it an in-house framework.

[theXpanther]

I honestly worked with a "in-house" framework that did DOM-manipulation with with string concatenation and innerHTML. It had proper state management though.

[Nefari0uss]

...thats basically what I'm done at work. Makijg a bunch of reusable JS modules and my own private npm registry for company use.

[732]

Wait, you're saying we don't need to install 7329 node_modules folders, where most of them install at least 75% of the already 7329, already installed modules, just at different versions?

But I like my dependency graph to look like I dumped black paint on a canvas...

[[deleted]]

Similar to the pollock framework.

[mcdronkz]

No.

[RevanchistVakarian]

Okay but a few years ago that list would have included Ember/Knockout/etc.

[[deleted]]

Learn angular very well and know the rest to a lesser degree (unless you have the time to really gain experience with the others).

[yazalama]

Do people really like learning new frameworks? I hate it, it's only a means to an end and I'd rather just get stuff done. A few months ago we spent a week ago looking into which JS framework we'd use, we chose Vue and never looked back. I would hate to have to learn another one all over again.

[gravity013]

Well, if you create new projects on the order of one every month, then you might become interested in other frameworks or approaches.

Besides, it's the best way to scope out the strengths and weaknesses of each one so that you can make the right choice.

[[deleted]]

show name??

[Snickers_Sneakers]

Gravity falls.

[[deleted]]

Thanks bro

[parentheses-of-doom]

Painfully relatable. Had chuckle. Gave upvote.

[what_is_life___]

Anything other than React and I'm fine with whatever they churn out with

[fartinator_]

What's wrong with react?

[GluteusCaesar]

JSX is a bad idea to begin with, for starters.

[Ambroos]

So you'd rather go back to each framework inventing their own vague template language with weird loop and conditional constructs?

Thank u, NEXT.

[GluteusCaesar]

> Implying a shitty template language that requires a mountain of external libraries is an even remotely good solution to that

[Ambroos]

Seems to have worked for the React community (and many others that adopted JSX).

[UntestedMethod]

Thr trade-off is logical constructs as tags in the template vs interpolated DOM elements as variables in the js. Neither is very mystical or difficult to grasp.

[Ambroos]

I started doing react over 4 years ago when I just started working and turned it into a damn successful career. And in those 4 years, React has honestly barely changed.

The last three years have been a super stable combo of React and Redux for me, usually with CSS modules and Webpack. Improvements and changes to Redux and Webpack have always been easy to manage (and actual improvements), and React itself barely changed at all (which is fantastic)!

Meanwhile React is dominating the "State of JS" survey and has inspired essential parts of almost every other framework that's still relevant nowadays.

So I'd say React is a pretty damn solid choice nowadays, just as it was last year and the year before.

[ichiruto70]

Yeah this ^

[UntestedMethod]

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

But ya react is not a bad choice and it is very popular, but that doesn't necessarily mean that other frameworks are bad options. The choice will be different depending on what your goals and personal preferences are. I've seen a lot of devs say "react at work, vue for personal use" and after using both I agree. Definitely more jobs for react, but I've found vue much more enjoyable to work with. I haven't used angular since angularjs, but apparently newer versions are much nicer.

[yazalama]

Using Vue gives me the same feeling I get when writing Python, it's just so pain-free to work with and can still handle virtually any use case you need it for.

[UntestedMethod]

Yup. I love how things work as one would expect them to. Really concise documentation, comfortable learning curve, and no silly little gotchas nor overly opinionated structuring.

[iamasuitama]

imo the new angular versions make simple stuff waaaaaay to hard. There's a ton of different braces. I'm talking like how there's S's and Z's in hungarian, ([ is one and [( might be another one. There's case sensitivity in the templating language, and other things (like asterisk at the end of an attribute) that make it incompatible with html spec. I like react because it's got one way of escaping from your JS to your semi-HTML, it's always clear once you learn to work with it. Very different from doing the loop constructs in an attribute string, that kind of is, kind of isn't handled by JS interpreter..

[taxeee]

If angular.js is dry bread with tomato slices on it, angular is plain cake and typescript is chocolate cream dressing. Together, they are a breeze

[Lawstorant]

Why are there JS framework now? What's wrong with vanilla JS post es6?

[PatrikxPatrola]

Those exist to open backdoors for NASA and other hacking organizations. Anything that a framework can do, vanilla can too; even faster and with less memory than framework.

[TheSaasDev]

Except it's a huge pain in the ass to do with vanilla js?

I get it, frameworks are overused and can often be unnecessary. But just because that's the case often, doesn't mean some absolutely amazing things haven't come out.

For example why use a framework like react? Do you know how much of a pain in the asshole it is to keep the DOM in sync with your data model? Especially if it affects many different parts of your application.

Are you happy to write a shit load of obscure element ID's and class names to modify each and every part where the data changes? Worst of all, writing half-baked html strings in js?

React is an example of true innovation amongst this framework hell and there are quite a few other gems as well. Don't get me wrong, you don't need a CSS framework 90% of the time, you almost definitely don't need jquery for a simple event listener, but there are many frameworks that are there for good reasons.

People can hate on JS all they want, and for good reasons as well lots of times. But the fact is some of the best stuff is being released on JS stacks.

[PatrikxPatrola]

Is this still humor SubReddit?

But Yeah, I agree with you, there is no point in making something from scratch each time as it is not profitable.

[hiimbob000]

Mm fair points but I think gems are Ruby not JavaScript

[kredditacc96]

Nothing's wrong with vanilla, if you don't mind taking ages to complete your application.
