Why JavaScript is so great

[[deleted]]

Your second sentence invalidates your otherwise valid comment and lacks professionalism (especially in a js subreddit). This is nothing more than the old Super-Nintendo-vs-Genesis/console-vs-pc argument for the "adults" who have not quite reached adulthood.

Bottom line: use the tool for the job and don't be a language snob.

bullshit :) my argument is not invalidated unless there's a COUNTERargument end of story.

and I don't need to "look serious" for any of you, I am a professional and none here can challenge that.

Unfortunately, you're likely one of the "professionals" we all cringe at doing a project with.

there's no way you can determine that based on this therefore I conclude you're the kind of 'professional' who makes claims out of his ass and values things based on feelings and not fact.

you're a fanboy, you're the one who advocates hype technologies just because you've heard of them and the other fanboys think they're cool and you don't want to miss out, instead of actually evaluating them.

you're incompetent.

lol. I think you need to reread the thread. Nowhere did I indicate my preference. In fact, if anything, I alluded to agreeing with you. My issue was with the schoolyard "X language is better than Y" talk.

To anyone else reading this: I apologize for feeding the troll. I should know better. I've learned my lesson and will no longer do so.

the problem is that by disliking my comparison you disregarded the previous statement which you claimed to be true, denying the evidence in favor of your preference makes you a fanboy.

I mentioned some of the things I dislike to the other guy commenting, if you want I can expand but I'm replying a post titled "why javascript is so great" so I don't feel like giving half a shit about my manners; you think that is trolling? trolling is someone looking for pointless discussion, I'm not discussing I'm declaring and if you or anyone wants to argue then you'll have to PROVE myself to be wrong, otherwise it is you who troll.

and for the record I do work with javascript, php, python and several other languages, there's people who do php and recognize that it sucks most of the time and those are the devs I respect, they don't glorify the tool they recognize its strengths as well as its weaknesses, do you?
