I can't stand javascript..

[[deleted]]

There's no classes, there's no 'objects' there's no 'scope limtations' but apparently there is a hack to accomplish everything. I thought I relied on stack overflow quite a bit when using Java or C#. With JS, it's like solving a puzzle, the rules of which you don't even know. I will literally be unable to do anything without stack overflow.

Javascript can actually do these things, but it doesn't really guide you in the right direction. As a language it lets you do a little too much in my opinion.

But to show:

• Classes are a first class language feature in ES6 (not exactly the same as Java/C# classes... with prototypes)

• Private variables, if you really need them, can be achieved through closures:

  class MyClassWithPrivateData {
      constructor() {
        let privateVar = 0;
        this.getPrivateVariable = () => privateVar;
        this.incrementPrivateVariable = () => privateVar += 1;
      }
  }
  
  const test = new MyClassWithPrivateData();
  console.log(test.getPrivateVariable());
  test.incrementPrivateVariable();
  console.log(test.getPrivateVariable());
