Why do yall hate javascript? Are you too dumb to fathom its power? While the situation with web dev isn't very great JS itself is a very good language and node is pretty good for what it is.

You can't defend this shit.

This is correct.

But why do we need a thread for this?

bad syntax consistency

What's harmful in good old XML?

it's disgusting

>browsing sites with harmful JS
your problem

god i hate json. thanks for reading

What's the problem with json?

...

Oh look, yet another meaningless cat-v rant..

name one thing written in javascript that would not be better in another language

>would be better in another language
???

>Why do yall hate javascript? Are you too dumb to fathom its power?
laughed really hard at this

So this is the power of JS...

XML isn't bad. It works well for both human readability and machine parsability.
It can get out of control, depending on your implementations scope, but that is something you should be considering.

JSON is a great alternative if you want to maximize parsability and reduce bloat, and don't care about human readability. I use JSON quite a bit myself.

It is though.

JS is dog shit and stupid webdevs who use it aren't real programmers. Web assembly is what people who aren't retarded gibbons use, and even the guy who invented js admits it.

And here is the one who's too dumb to fathom it.
also wtf does var x * 3 mean?

JS on web sure is meh, but web assembly is an ultra meme. T.b.h. JS will kill every other language, nowadays node can be on the server, the most popular text editors/chat platforms are all node-webkit, it's the future, there is already nodeOS, the inventor is too dumb to realize it either

>JS will kill other language
this is either intense delusion or incredibly advanced bait. JS is unusable for anything other than webapps, its intended purpose.
Desktop applications with JS have been proven to be generally slow garbage (ie atom and VS code, they're decent programs, but they are much slower than the equivalent c++ or c programs). Systems and low level JS will never happen.

Js may've been intended for web, but it've grown a lot. In future there will be low level js! And most node-webkit applications are slow because they use DOM, not js. Node is as fast as C nowadays.

>java faster than C
>java faster than ASM, ever
fake news

Js is pretty fast and web assembly will make it fully compiled eventually. What you have a problem with is the DOM. But that's not JavaScript. You could probably find node bindings for gtk or ncurses if you wanted too. I think you really hate the DOM though and that's not JavaScripts fault.
Also it handles closures better then any other language in my opinion. I really do think a lot of people hate on it because they don't know how to use it properly.
If you set up a build system and enforce a design pattern it's very nice and productive to work with.

You're reading it backwards dickhead.

The C code is like compiled without optimization and jvm might just optimize out the whole loop.

It's right.
Java makes better code than practically any programmer. so why bother?

>>>>>>>>good old xml

It's neither readable nor easy to parse. What fucking drug are you on?

>not easy to parse
eval(json)
>not readable
seems pretty readable for me.

why even live?

The problem is that I am not on drugs.
