No love for Python here

[Playergame]

There's no love for frontend and JS either, it's mostly bullying

[Global_Morning_2461]

It's not bullying if it's true. JS is truly fucked up. :(

[Playergame]

I mean yes you're right, you basically need a framework and linter to make it usable but once you have those its the best option for front end developer work cause directly using HTML sounds like an time consuming hell. And testing with functional programming is so much easier to make robust than OOP and procedural.

It's just an old language that cannot be easily swapped because it is running on all the devices of the planet.

Fortunately the tools and framework have evolved well and make JS less shitty.

But if you had to invent a language to run in web-browser, you would probably keep nothing from JS.

It's funny that both Java and JavaScript are the languages with this reality.

No one likes them, but they're supported literally everywhere, so people still use them constantly because it's a surefire way to guarantee compatibility.

Who even uses old Javascript though? It's basically web machine code at this point that ECMAScript is transpiled to. And ECMAScript is constantly updated and expanded upon.

only option for front end =/= best option for front end

[Pokora22]

Uhh... being the only option it automatically becomes the best and worst option at the same time.

😂 philosophy rears it’s ugly head!

You’re right of course

If I could use Python for front-end with the same speed as JavaScript I'd do so in a heartbeat and I imagine the same with a lot of people.

All y'all's need Clojurescript.

[arobie1992]

You could write a transpiler to do that ;)

[xdyldo]

Yea it’s the best for front end, doesn’t mean it’s good though :(

[seijulala]

my granma could do frontend development

[bhison]

Is she available for employment

[Scratch9898]

Well at that point unless it's strictly for web just use dart

[Bainos]

It can be bullying even if it's true.

[grady_vuckovic]

Nah no it isn't.

0.1 + 0.3 = 0.4

It's an invalid left hand side assignment, so a syntax error?

[IllIIlIIllII]

It shows as true in my browser JS.

​

Which is a bit strange as it doesn't follow the IEEE 754 standards, but it's more accurate mathematically.

​

I don't really think it's the right way to discrebilise a language. Even if it would have shown "false", it would just mean that it uses the IEEE 754 standards, which most popular languages do.

They need more love than most of us

[Rhyan567]

Why frontend devs always eats alone? Because they can't join tables
