    Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.

    Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language

      HTML 5 is also not a programming language.

      That being said. The JS hate is kinda cringe at this point. It’s a perfectly fine language all things considered.

        I wouldn’t say it’s a perfectly fine language but I also don’t understand the people hating on JS developers. If anything kudos to them for suffering through a language filled with such BS as “==” not actually doing what you think it should do (when coming from other languages).

          I’m yet to find a non-LISP that doesn’t have at least one or two rough edges like that.

      Come on y’all, would you lay off the gatekeeping. Some of us still think the free web’s a good thing, lest we all end up in a walled garden hellscape. JavaScript is therefore needed if we’re being pragmatic. Just transpile it from TypeScript if you’re too stuck up for dynamic languages building something big.
