just face it, javascript is literally the most useful language you can learn

It's true but python is still way more convenient for everyday scripts.
Asynchronous js (inputs, etc.) is overkill for simple scripts.

You don't seem to understand the difference between a web API (DOM, etc.) and a scripting language
Rewriting the Linux kernel as we speak
Stay tuned for KernelJS
Yeah, sh is a scripting language, but I wouldnt make an entire medium-to-large program with it
thats because you don't work with high abstraction CS problems, JS is lisp + Algol if you can't see that you are just a pajeet.
>It's true but python is still way more convenient for everyday scripts.
only a brainlet retard can't see javascript is python with braces and much better engine.
you are missing espruino, espruino.com
> Much better engine
Holy shit mang when's the last time you compared them. I use both at work and Python is a huge timer saver with literally faster runtime. Plus, the now standard asyncio lib makes it stupidly simple to get 1-to-1 node.js scripts.
I just don't see the point, node is just a sea of incompatible libraries and unstable language. Python 3 just werks and doesn't require a bazillion libraries to work because most of the useful stuff is builtin and already optimized.

Do multi-process, that's why processes exist.
HOE DOES THE NODE EVENT LOOP WORK EXPLAIN IT TO ME
THEY SAY ITS CONCURRENCY BUT HOW CAN THAT BE DOES IT SWITCH BETEEN EEVENTS??!
concurrency is a hoax it uses threads.

I'm writing a react native app. JavaScript is really a hinge on performance especially on android and there's no good navigation solution yet.
Flutter looks much more promising although I'm not keen on Dart but at least it supports types.
As someone who works making car navigation systems and dashboards i can vouch for the use of QT.
Learn Javascript for anything other than absolute necessity and you'll forever be marked with the stigma of being someone whose life's ambition is to make "sleek interactive pie charts and fancy scrolling" look EXACTLY like everyone else's "sleek interactive pie charts and fancy scrolling."
If that's what you want to do with your life then, sure, there are plenty of day cares that will accommodate you. Not everyone fits in the service sector, so synthetic jobs have to be created for the socially incompetent as well.
Full JS RDBMS when?

Vanilla JS is all I need for making websites.
Everything else is bloat.

It explains how half of the languages is absolute shit that should be avoided at all costs, and the other half is just regular shit that can be used only if you're extra careful around its countless design and implementation errors.
