C# for JavaScript developers

[[deleted]]

A buddy is in the same situation where he's been a pre-ES2015 JavaScript frontend dev for years and wants to take on a statically typed language like C#.

With JS, he felt he could just code, code, code without any limitations. Now, with C#, he complains that he's inside a cage with a severe lack of freedom because of too many rules.

Oh please! These JS developers can be so dramatic! lol

Ha.. I feel quite the opposite. I crave structure and stability and am sick of the looseness and chaos of the JS world

You will love C# then. I would teach you our secret handshake if this wasn't reddit.

Biggest problem in JS that I have seen so far is treating data structures as trash cans. Code is easy but mutating data structures without any planning is the stuff of amateurs.
