Either you love it or you hate it, there's no middle ground with JavaScript


I used to hate it. Now I'm meh. I'm on the middle ground!


I used to love it, now I'm meh. I love some things about it (ecosystem, dev mindshare), now don't like some things (dependency hell, lack of proper debugger, always single-threaded).


I'm with you, but I think the parent comment is right. Because generally comments here are either over-criticizing or over-defending JS.


The language has finally achieved "meh" status if you can use only the latest version and ignore at least half of it completely. This may or many not still make it very bad or entirely fine depending on one's perspective.


I've posted this article which is based on my personal experience, and I'd love to hear from all of you, what makes you better at coding? maybe even a better hacker?


My bad, I made the change, I was confused on how Show HN worked, thanks for sharing the link with me


Very interesting... Following now :)


Looks very promising


Any thoughts on the article? I'm new to writing I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks
