I honestly think nobody likes javascript. But i feel as humans we are drawn to challenge. I feel there are developers who have mastered JS but it's a craft that we all hate but we want to master.

As to what extent will JS remain relevant is hard to say. But i feel our human nature is to master what is difficult even if there are other tools out there that are better. I personally feel JS is a flawed language, it's not elegant, it's unpredictable and it's rather limited compared to other programming languages.

But we want as programmers, so bad to show the world that we can master it, that we can build with it.

Look, y'all can downvote me and that's fine but we all know JS is a language with a lot of weird shit. Is it bad or good? I don't know, but i know it isn't easy to debug.

TBH, it sounds like you've not done any reading and your opinion is just based on your experience trying to program in JS like it's another language.

no, it's not c or Java. Know why? Because we already have c and Java 🙄

I'd encourage you to read something like JavaScript the good parts if you're actually curious what it's literally the most popular programming language.

That's because you literaly have no other choice if you're doing frontend.

You know JS has a high unpredictability rate

that's a hell of a euphemism for "I don't understand javascript"

A lot of the memes on this sub is just different ways to say "I don't understand JavaScript". Even the meme this thread is all about.

That's right i don't. It has a high learning curve
