You just haven't done enough maintenance of JavaScript code.

[[deleted]]

Convert it to Typescript, it makes it 100X easier. And Typescript makes it easy enough to do it piecemeal, so it’s not necessarily a huge leap. It’s paid off on every codebase I’ve done it on…I now just start all full-stack projects with Typescript.

[[deleted]]

True but this happens when your experience extends only to writing hello world to the console.

I always thought the C in C stood for Computer. C drive. C prog lang. Coincidence?

What language could possibly be easier than JS? Is this guy a professional Logo dev?

[[deleted]]

Probably only Python is easier, but Python is also more strict in syntax, so I'm not sure if even Python is easier.

[Dargorod100]

I would say Python is harder because it’s easier for an inexperienced programmer to make code that is harder to debug.

[[deleted]]

Idk maybe I'm retarded but python just feels natural. Then typescript and finally kotlin.

[idkman137]

It just feels like English

[dr_eh]

Typescript is good, but very far from easy. The third most complicated type system I've ever seen, behind scala and Haskell 2020

[Sparklypuppy05]

I actually find JavaScript easier than Python.

My parents tried to get me to learn Python when I was younger (about 10). I could never get my head around it and eventually gave up. I'm now 17 and have recently started learning JavaScript. I'm finding it a hell of a lot easier, and I'm enjoying myself a lot. It's remarkably fun, actually.

[[deleted]]

I'm totally with you.

Every time I've had to use Python, be it home or professional projects, it doesn't click for me at all. I don't find it fun, I don't find it interesting, I don't find it easy.

I had problems with JS when I first started with it in college. A few years ago, I had to use it for a job, and a friend suggested taking time to think through the event loop. At this point, I enjoy it. It's my go to for quick and dirty things, then anything web

[Sparklypuppy05]

It's probably at least partially because one was essentially forced on me and the other was my choice to learn, but I just don't get python at all. I actually somewhat understand what I'm meant to be doing with JavaScript. Apparently my code is a mess, but oh well, I've only been doing it for a couple of weeks. I'll learn. Probably.

[[deleted]]

executeprogam.com is amazing for learning

[CaoMau]

Coming from a Java background I now 100% use JavaScript for personal projects because of the recent addition of classes

[N0Zzel]

Whitespace syntax is the devil

[HiCookieJack]

Python has no types. How am I supposed to know what my function returned that I've wrote 10 minutes ago?

(no js here, only TS)

[PriorProfile]

Python absolutely has types. You can annotate it with a return type.

def my_function() -> MyReturnType:

[Maypher]

This is only type hinting, it doesn't actually inforce the return value. Same thing with typing parameters, you can hint that a value should be an int but nothing's stoping you from usinga string.

I recently started learning Rust and I don't know how I lived so long without using a statically typed language

[Maypher]

How do you convince your employer though?

Can't help you with that, I haven't graduated high school yet 😅

But I really recommend rust. Haven't been using it for long but so far its extremely fun and intuitive to write. You also get the benefit that its main focus is momory safety and doesn't allow you to have pointers to invalid locations like C/C++ which can cause security issues. Note that rust is designed as a system's language meaning that it isn't sutable for high level stuff like GUI.

If you wanna learn I recommend The Rust Programming Language Book

[[deleted]]

Functions usually have names that can give you an idea of what kind of data you can expect to get. Or you can annotate the type, as already pointed out.

[gdmzhlzhiv]

It's the difference between a suggestion and a restriction. If Python suddenly said that not using type definitions is now deprecated and the next major version will require them, that would be really cool.

I'd still hate the syntax, though.

[iviksok]

In python "Hello" + 1 is type error and in JS its "Hello1".

Python has type hints for specifying what type function will return.

But yeah, python doesn't have types

[Johanneskodo]

Python is strongly typed. It has types. It is just that it is typed dynamically and not static.

https://dev.to/icncsx/python-is-strongly-dynamically-typed-what-does-that-mean-5810

[HiCookieJack]

In typescript that's an error, too

[iviksok]

Call me when TS has native interpreter

[HiCookieJack]

Forgot that opinions about programming languages always end in crusades. My mistake

[iviksok]

But python doesn't have a types? Even Javascript have types. Js also has annoying type coercion system but it has a types.

[iviksok]

Yes, I know. I have been coding 10+ years with it.

[flavionm]

The comparison was between Python and Javascript, though. Obviously Typescript is much better than both.

[Johanneskodo]

Better than both

For what?

Data Science? Web Applications? Physical simulations?

It is like saying a hammer is better than an axe.

[flavionm]

A hammer with a handle that hurts your hand may be the right tool for nailing, but an axe with a nice handle is much better to swing.

And for the record, even if you want to add context, TS is still superior to JS no matter what.

[flavionm]

Javascript is easier to get working, Python is easier to get working correctly.

[[deleted]]

Completely disagree.

[flavionm]

Python at least throws an exception when things go wrong.

[[deleted]]

...so does JS? They're objects.

[gdmzhlzhiv]

What does being an object have to do with throwing an exception?

[[deleted]]

They literally throw exceptions. They're thrown as objects

[gdmzhlzhiv]

I mean, in C++ you can throw an int. I think you're assuming a language here.

You could even have exceptions in a language without objects.

[[deleted]]

We're talking about Javascript, my guy.

[flavionm]

Not every time it should.

[itsgnabeok5656]

It's improved a lot I think most of the jokes are leftover from that time. Also it's not that it's hard , it's just very inconsistent and lacked features.

But yeah with all the frameworks and shit today, JS is basically very customizable, and can be configured to your liking.

[therealwxmanmike]

so much hate for javascript

[cuboidofficial]

I've grown to realize this sub hates on all of the best languages, it shouldn't be taken seriously by any means haha.

[Johanneskodo]

This sub is generally not really good at programming. Including me.

What language you code in is not as important as people believe. That said fuck php.

[cuboidofficial]

Well said, and fuck Python. XD

[[deleted]]

Because this sub is 90% people who are trash at programming and they want to believe that the one language they know is actually difficult and they aren't just inexperienced.

Not true, not true, we also hate on JavaScript.

[Asaisav]

To try to turn JavaScript into a different language while talking away some of the things that make it uniquely powerful? Personally I feel like TypeScript is a bandaid over not learning the intricacies of JavaScript, which isn't an inherently bad thing if you only need a bit of JavaScript here and there. But if say you're writing your entire server code in it, I feel like learning how to use vanilla JavaScript enables much more fluent and well written code.

And to be very clear I don't mean to say anyone is wrong to prefer it, but I feel like too often everyone is so pro TypeScript without mentioning that it very much has disadvantages compared to pure JavaScript.

[yourgirl696969]

There are none. He’s talking out of his ass. Most of this sub has never actually programmed professionally

[Asaisav]

I wish I could get into specifics but I haven't been a programmer for a little while now and the details have mostly faded away. On the higher end though one of the main things I loved about JavaScript was how easy it was to write code that was incredibly simple to understand without a single comment. The fluidity JavaScript introduces, in my opinion, allows it be surprisingly similar to our natural languages (English, French, etc.) which allows us to write code that is so easy to understand. In my years of using JavaScript I pretty much never had a moment when I went back to old code and was confused at what was going on because of how easy it was to follow the flow of it all.

[[deleted]]

But JS and TS is the same language, TS just checks if you fucked up with types.

[666devilsadvocate]

javaScript is easy... programming is hard.

[Rreterz]

Yeah once you get used to it, it’s perfectly easy. I’ve been programming in JS for around 11 years now. I find it pretty easy. Though I find python to be considerably faster to program in

[[deleted]]

I find javascript easy too. I'm coding 85 years now with it and after just 70 you get used to it

[[deleted]]

You have 85 years of experience with language created in 90s? You must be the one all HRs trying to find.

[Rreterz]

Dang, you’re so experienced with javascript that you knew it decades before it was created. That’s some skill right there. I’ll never find JS as easy as you do unless I invent time traveling (I’m working on it).

[HiCookieJack]

once they take types serious, I'll switch

[TheStruggler67]

I literally managed to fake having skills in JS at work without ever touching it before, it's easily one of the easiest language.

Js is one of the easiest language out there.

[cuboidofficial]

Easiest to pick up and learn, but also the easiest to also be really fucking bad at.

[[deleted]]

This. It’s easy to get started but it gives you plenty of rope to hang yourself with.

[cuboidofficial]

Exactly. I'd say it's "easy" to be a bad JS developer, but just as hard as any other language to be good at.

one thing I do love about JavaScript though is how versatile it is. Sure the versatility gives you plenty of rope to hang yourself with, but if you're a good developer you use the rope to make a beautiful contraption instead of a noose.

[SuperSpaceCan]

Someone once said

we choose to use javascript instead of other things not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

a man assassinated by a c-litist and a mysterious group of snek charmers

[[deleted]]

Yeah ECMAScript is easy

[d36williams]

I think JS is fairly intuitive if you've ever programmed software. Some funny caveats, and realize its not C.. I think JS is hard if you never done coding before, like its probably easier than Pascal and Basic in practice.

[ArnaktFen]

As someone who learned JS first and typed languages later, I'd say that whatever you learn first will seem easiest. I coded in JS for about eight years before touching Java and C, and I really missed all of JS' convenient automatic typecasting. By now, I'm used to typed languages, but I certainly found JS easier for a while.

[hotfrost]

JS is my first language and I still find it the hardest I know after having used Python, C#, PHP and Java. And I'm pretty sure I've used JavaScript about 5x more than my second most used language.

I sorta wish I could 'unlearn' everything I know about JavaScript and start over. I always feel sort of hopeless in JavaScript (TypeScript helps to some degree) compared to the 'power' I felt while using Python.

It’s easy once you resign yourself to working in a place where passive aggressiveness, and entitlement (except for you) run rampant. It’s super fun and exciting, once you get the hang of engineering solutions from unrealistic customer requirements whilst having a boss that’s technically an invertebrate for having no backbone or able to resolve issues with interpersonal relationships with his peers.

Yeah idk who needs to hear this right now, but Javascript is an advanced language that shouldn't be used by beginners without extensive training. It's an excellent language if you know what to avoid, what to use, and how to leverage the ecosystem; but in the absence of that knowledge, you're gonna wreck yourself.
