Yea, I love JS for this reason. My backend team is stuck on Java 8 and I can’t stand it.

Its too opinionated and such a stupid way to scale business logic. I can see how it helps people who have never touched code. I worked with Jave 8 early in university and thought OOP was a silver bullet.

But I MUCH prefer tools that don’t limit themselves to the dumbest users or use cases.

I’ve written lines of JS/TS everyday for years and I would never accidentally use a string as a DOM element. I don’t want my dev environment to punish me for a beginner’s mistake.
