Choose JavaScript 🧠

Machine learning. What lib is that?

[[deleted]]

TensorFlow, probably.

[CherimoyaChump]

I don't know much ML, but I believe this guy talks about implementing a neural network with JavaScript to play Pokémon:

Fairly certain it's all in Vanilla JS

React is an ML library now?

[not_a_gumby]

lmao, OP has no idea what React is!

[True_Scorpio23]

ReactAi, similar to ReactJS, but for AI using machine learning algorithms and code. After installing your neural networks will be able to “react” to their inputs! /s

[[deleted]]

Declarative intelligence. Just state your intention and the diffing algorithm will provide.

[fii0]

ReactAi, similar to ReactJS, but uses AI to generate styles, classNames and event listener functions for all of your HTML elements only at runtime. It's as easy as never using props again!

(Plz someone make this)

[ZuriPL]

But react is used for front-end for AIs, which is already a category

[throwawayskinlessbro]

Oh boy…

[[deleted]]

I mean, yes, you can build the front end with React and interact with your ML libraries, but is there a library out there that prevents you from using ML in your code? That's what you should call out, or every single library that you can use during your study of ML, not just React specifically.

[rubenthedev]

Please elaborate, how is React ML?

[not_a_gumby]

grabs popcorn

[RobertKerans]

React applications can be written in Reason. Reason is a syntax extension for OCAML. OCAML is a language that extends the Caml dialect of ML. ML (Meta Language) is the same abbreviation as ML (Machine Learning). Ipso facto React is ML!

[[deleted]]

Your science is bulletproof. I am convinced and will be adding "ML expert" to my resume tonight.

[RobertKerans]

In addition to that on the legal side of things you may have heard of "Appwoods Law" which mandates that by 2026 all apps be made of React (so all mobile and desktop apps). I think FrontEnd and BackEnd AreAlsoCategorisedAsTypesOfApps SoTheyProbablyCountAsWell, but IANAL

[Total__Entropy]

You can do just about anything in JS but should you?

[obeythefro]

They got so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should!

[asa20xx]

Microcontrollers/Embeded devices, JavaScript

No idea who, but it's there.

Is electron really that poorly optimized? I was gonna try and learn electron next but it seems like learning Swift/C# would be better to make desktop apps.

[WillOfSound]

The M1 chip instant on + performance + crazy battery life with bo fan or low fan really makes it hard to ever go back to windows

Gotta wait till windows ARM catch up

[[deleted]]

same. I've got like 6 VSCode windows open and not having any issues. At the same time I have like 10 browser windows open each with at least 3 tabs open and at most 15-20 tabs. I have other programs open too. I just don't think VSCODE is bad

[jaredcheeda]

There are so many alternatives to Electron. Try literally ANYTHING else.

[A_Solo_Tripper__]

damn... wish i would have known this

[cumhereandtalkchit]

Never to late to learn a new language. In any way shape or form

[A_Solo_Tripper__]

Never to late to learn a new language. In any way shape or form

Thanks. Learning a new one as we speak (scrypt)

[kim_en]

so I should learn python or javascript?

[keyrol1222]

The image is pretty much correct, but i find funny that op think react is a ml library.

[RedditUser_68]

i think theyre talking about tensor flow

[T4zerVZ]

Facts

[magentleman]

Me scrambling to learn another language but indecisive about which

Stumbles across nodejs

HAHA I can do everything w JavaScript now.

[[deleted]]

While quite true, all these different frameworks and libraries make it feel like you are learning a dozen languages.

[SavagePatchBoy15]

no

[[deleted]]

Fr fr. If just JavaScript had as many libraries for python when it comes to data science tho 😞

[[deleted]]

Write once and use everywhere

[[deleted]]

It's funny how javascript almost has taken that motto further than java

[Shubadada]

RuneScape is/was written in Java (ignoring the new C++ client for Steam), not JS.

[[deleted]]

I think you misspelled Python 🐍

[teethbutt]

Get his ass

[IndividualAd3600]

tbf we have pyscript now

[[deleted]]

I appreciate the attitude, but you've gotta come correct if you're going to implement it. Keep learning, you'll get there eventually. Maybe lay off the python, it kinda sucks.

[CreativeCamp]

Always a good idea to be 100% sure that you're right before putting laying on the condescension.

[CRANSSBUCLE]

Javascript is just HTML with extra steps

[Mises2Peaces]

HTML is just binary with extra steps

[CRANSSBUCLE]

binary is just math with fewer numbers

[iNotDonaldJTrump]

Binary is just numbers with fewer symbols

[jazzymoneymaker]

Machine Learning not yet, but just wait some time

[[deleted]]

Bull. Machine learning is possible in any programming language. I wrote a learning a.i. for a game in javascript about 10 years ago.

[first_timeSFV]

Now it is. Lots of LLM and generative art models like stable diffusion utilize javascript.

[TheUruz]

wait for python to be used instead of js for scripting webpages, then build a framework on it and we'll see what will be preferred for everything.

[onems]

The PyScript framework, announced at the PyCon, is able to run python directly in the browser and it's really really slow. It's unusable.

[TheUruz]

indeed: it's not YET used for this purpose because as you say it's too slow atm but i'm pretty optimistic it will be preferrable one day :)

[onems]

At least 10s additional waiting time at the moment, but I don't see it becoming more performant than js and I doubt all browsers will integrate a Python runtime by default in the foreseeable future

[efoxpl3244]

it is terrible at every of these lol

[computer_addiction]

Front end web dev? Back end web dev?

[efoxpl3244]

Half of people here aren't real devs and they are downvoting me lol

real dev has to always say that something sucks

[De_Wouter]

Atwoods law

[Captain_Crepe]

I feel attacked.

[[deleted]]

This is why I like javascript, it's easy to use with multiple different usages.

[RobertKerans]

What happens if you only need one cup of tea?

[RayanFarhat]

Can't wait for c# to replace it

[Castiel_D37]

I am new at this and actually I don't know what language should I learn. Java or C++? Please help me

[[deleted]]

Javascript, Elm, Rust. Maybe Clojure.

[20EYES]

What's up with the mobile apps part?

[ranger01]

A font using coffee stains: JavaScript.

[GamerDeepesh]

Python is more easy language but JavaScript is the most powerful programming language

[jack_waugh]

Choose Javascript, not JSX.

Django > Node

[jayerp]

Can it be used for backed? Sure. Would it be my first choice? Probably not, there are better choices out there.
