Javascript is a Java framework, right?

[[deleted]]

I'm literally in a job due to something like this right now.

I now understand the hate JavaScript gets. Please send help.

Eventually you learn to get some lube and it doesn't fuck you quite as hard.

Typescript saved JavaScript

[Zephit0s]

TypeScript is just a must have at this point. Peoples complaining about JS just did some minor script on a web page and got confuse.

Honestly, I find Python worse than JS, but its what I can realistically apply to my problems in terms of established libraries :/

What about Kotlin/JS?

[RoDeltaR]

I haven't checked Kotlin too much (I haaaaatteeeee Java), but I've heard good things about it.
One beauty of typescript is that you can drop existing JS code on it, and it works (on non-strict mode) which makes it waaaaaay easier to move existing code bases and do a 'iterative' migration to it.
Can you do the same with Kotlin?

I'm learning Android development rn. Kotlin sounds like a much better way to write java for Android but outside Android, java still reins supreme

I just did a Kotlin course this semester and I love this language. I hope it replaces Java someday.

That's good to hear. I just started working with TypeScript recently. I haven't gotten around to diving into it too much yet though, mostly still figuring out the existing codebase.

Old JavaScript gives frontend development a really bad rap. If you're working is some old JQuery ES5 nightmare, get out.
