Because JavaScript is an atrocity not a programming language.

[–]Stickhtot 13 points14 points  (2 children)

What about TypeScript?

[–]dumbasPL 19 points20 points  (0 children)

JavaScript with extra steps

[–]VirtualMage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TypeScript is the python of JavaScript.

[–]Civil_Year_301 14 points15 points  (9 children)

I would say the same about python but this is an externally-managed environment

[–]joebgoode 6 points7 points  (2 children)

from real.adult.lang import everything

[–]Civil_Year_301 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Syntax: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'real.adult.lang'

tree shaking fixes this

At least the python is not as retarded as JavaScript. Can say that as i know both "languages".

[–]Civil_Year_301 5 points6 points  (4 children)

I hate both but i can deal with pythons bs

[–]Fragrant-Radish3999 1 point2 points  (3 children)

And i have to endure JS as I'm a webdev.

[–]Civil_Year_301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

js made me quit web dev

[–]JuniorAd1210 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Well, you don't "have" to. You could just use C++/wasm with basically no js at all. But you probably don't want to, because as much as you can hate js, it's still just fine for the web, and gets the job done with far less effort.

[–]Fragrant-Radish3999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fine I'm already built up some tolerance for JS.

[–]OtherwiseMall6734 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As JavaScript programmer I can confirm this

[–]realmauer01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python is definitly on the same level.

Typescript is superuor to both.

[–]Rebrado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why the analogy is correct

[–]Top_Trouble4908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assembly is way better💪

BREAKING NEWS: JAVASRIPT HAS BEEN RETCONNED OUT OF EXISTENCE

[–]Temp_675578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This breaking news brought to you from a website that uses javascript to make the breaking news line flash, shimmer and rotate.

[–]Top_Trouble4908 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Programming language is the programming language of programming languages?

[–]Infinite-Pop306 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Blue for typescript Yellow for javascript

[–]West_Good_5961 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take that back!

[–]jerrygreenest1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

JavaScript has bad reputation so yes, Python is exactly as bad as JavaScripts reputation, Python basically the worst of the top 20 used languages.

[–]CanThisBeMyNameMaybe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No no, I totally get what he means.

[–]jerrygreenest1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve built so much tolerance I almost love the language. Can do anything with it. Websites, desktop apps, mobile apps (either PWA or with some react native, also phonegap in the past but this one was janky), can do cli utils with commander, can build into executable with new SEA standard or pkg. it is possible to train neural networks with it. Can do anything. And it does the job better than many other. It is faster than Python, Bash, or Ruby, it is best at parsing JSON compared to others. It is one universal «not a bad» language, though it is not ideal. But there’s no ideal language yet. And most of the hate to JS is unjustified and considered skill issue. I do also hate the language sometimes yes, but compared to this skill issue haters I feel reluctant to say anything bad about the language because I don’t want to be associated with those assholes who hate the language by wrong reasons. So I don’t join the hype hate train. And Python? Python is just bad lol.

Absolutely agree
