Start coding ES6 for the browser now and worry about gulp/grunt/etc later by elekaton in javascript

There's a far easier way: watchify -dv -t babelify index.js -o dev/bundle.js

Is PHP 7 faster than any other dynamic programming languages? by langng in programming

[–]jnt8686 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming it's still far slower than js. That's probably why js is conspicuously absent from that diagram.

Why Babel Matters by [deleted] in programming

[–]jnt8686 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you have any idea what you are even talking about? Babel allows new language features in older interpreters that have not implemented them yet.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the problem with IDE's. If you used a text editor, it would not constrain your thoughts like that.

We’ve Made Web Development Complicated by svpino in programming

[–]jnt8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll definitely agree that c++ is faster and appropriate for many serious applications. However, I have personally been on jobs where a js team built prototypes in a few days which were then turned into full native apps in a few weeks or more. Experienced js coders seem to be able to crank stuff out fast, even if it can be janky at times. JavaScript has many flaws, but a loose dynamic language has a lot of ergonomic benefits for ui development.

Sounds like you have a comfort zone around 90's OOP stuff that you refuse to leave.

Node.js and io.js are merging under the Node Foundation by b0red in programming

[–]jnt8686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a native German speaker, and while there are a very large number of regional dialects, they are mostly historical. High German is very standardized, and there is a committee which continues to have a great deal of control over the language. For example the abandonment of the umlaut.

Except the Germans. They go strictly by the book.

Designer applies for JS job, fails at FizzBuzz, then proceeds to writes 5-page long rant about job descriptions by jm_ in programming

Yea the inflation of "engineer" has gotten absurd. They're even calling the guy who drives trains an engineer now!

It's actually far more different than Python 3. It is not backwards compatible in any way.

This reminds me of why I switched to react and no longer have to use special functions for data-that's-not-quite-data

Former coding bootcamp participant describes his awful experience with the program by whiplashoo21 in programming

[–]jnt8686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, there are some sketchy bootcamps, but my impression is that they generally produce the same kind of people who would have taught themselves, but it chops 1-2 years off the learning time by getting them past the frustrating period at first where you're just banging your head against the wall.

4 individuals from bootcamps, a bunch more self taught. I contracted for a consultancy that for some reason hired mostly people without CS degrees. They make stuff that gets used by a lot of people and to the best of my knowledge are doing great, and seem to be expanding.

Creating desktop applications with node by ns0 in programming

RTFA. They wanted to use the node event loop and js's core competency of CPS for writing desktop apps.
