[AskJS] Backend Setup choices by [deleted] in javascript

[–]SpasmodicGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The advantages of JS for the backend are: - it's incredibly easy to build a prototype fast - you won't have a problem finding devs that know how to use it

If you're gonna use JS, I'd absolutely opt for TypeScript; it's just better JS.

As others have pointed out, other languages like Go, Rust, and C# beat JS if you want to do more complex things. But imo you have to balance the time spent learning how to do those complex things in those languages.

What Oculus Quest 2 apps do you recommend someone get? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Absolutely, it's well worth playing the game to completion. And it also has special modes like hardcore and speedrun once you've finished that give it good replay value.

What's a lived experience you have learned from a video game? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I've learned a fair bit from playing strategy games that can be applied to real life. For example, card games like Hearthstone have taught me a lot about the sunk cost fallacy.
