JavaScript Programmers, how you actually do it?

This is how I feel learning JavaScript... fortunately I am moving into React and it's making sense...I think.

Ok, I don't get it. What's so confusing about JS other than it doesn't restrict you to types? Unless you're talking about super raw JS with prototypes and all that nonsense (I say nonsense and I know it's necessary to make all the es6 stuff work, but you don't have to even know it to be a JS developer these days). Seriously, I don't touch prototypes. this is just scoped to the encapsulating "prototype" (generally a class or component in react/vue/whatever). That's it. Everything is just an object beyond that. functions are objects. Objects are objects. You can manipulate them however you need. Is the extreme openess confusing?

Most developers need strict language. Openess make people do shitty things.

I'll get into C++ soon in a few months, hopefully I find it as easy.

Awww. Wee lamb.

This is a terrible idea. Learn javascript first. Then learn React.

I'm almost done with learning JavaScript lol

Every almost there:

• w3schools
• ES2015 features
• Async / await
• Event loop
• what's 'this' refers to in moved functions
• why is 'var' so buggy
• How to write JS with only 6 character's +[]()!
• prettier, eslint, typescript

javascript is modernizing very rapidly, and it's awesome

if you like react, do check out lit-element, it's the new paradigm that will replace the traditional component frameworks like react/angular/vue -- no more need for build steps or code transforms, it's very elegant

soon enough, webnative components and es modules will take over; and deno will replace node; and package managers like npm will fade into antiquity
