>replacing you
Kek. Call me when you can write linux modules in js

You don't get paid for that.

you get paid a lot more than js developers do

There's the thing.
The language you pick is what kind of ambition you have.
If you have zero ambition and want an easy job to get, javascript is your man, but if you want something more, something bigger, you study things such as C/C++ and get really good at it, as there are less jobs and they require someone competent.

Now shit like R will take you nowhere.

It's arguably more challenging than embedded programming or even back-end.

Try being productive in a spaghetti codebase with 20+ JS contributors, fucked up CI pipeline and environment issues, context-switching between all the different modules, configuration, environments AND having to deal with project managers, business analysts trying to decide whether the dialog box should be a certain colour when there are race conditions all over the place.

You people like to shit on JS developers, but we have the most demanding job. I fucking wish I could fuck around with Arduinos all day or deal with a back-end scaling problem instead. But there's far less demand for backend and embedded programming.

Still better than xilinx ISE and VHDL

translation: I need C++ to make games

What the java virtual machine is made in?
And windows, Solidworks, photoshop etc?

R is for statisticians doofus

vhdl is great, u faggot. ise on the other hand is a piece of literal shit

and they're taking up several gb of ram while doing it

>but we have the most demanding job
aren't you one delusional faggot, eh?

your own fault for using shit frameworks and libraries and cry about spaghetti code that is not manageable. just because you web2.0 faggots can't organize or even design shit, like the fucking programming languages for your client side faggotry such as js, doesn't mean you are doing a hard job. you are doing a dumb job because the entire eco system is garbage and you shits circle jerk another on how amazing you are.

you are literally nothing. even a fucking php programmer has more skill than you

Call me when I can program microcontrollers and FPGAs with javascript.

Call me when I can make 250k USD a year with 1 year of experience programming microcontrollers.

>Javascript
>250k/y
>implying

>mfw the only jobs c++ cucks will be left with is optimizing the javascript engine

I'd rather write in a sane language, and support the degenerate pile of shit that is JS, than dealing with it directly.

A language being challenging because it was made for sliding menus and not powering the entire fucking backend is not a point of pride

I refuse to use JavaScript

There are more JS jobs, but they pay a lot less than C/C++, Java, etc.... A lot fucking less. JS is webdev shit. Sorry but I want more money than that or this whole thing won't have been worth it.

After using it for some years, I went from hating to loving it. You can write fast stuff really fast, it has everything, the package management is great(ish), and allows you to do whatever you want. But the last point is also the greatest weakness, you end up with a lot of shitty devs writing shitty stuff because they don't even get the event loop and don't know what a closure is. You know, those devs who use jquery to write ten lines of frontend.
It's my goto language for prototyping and small stuff I have to throw together quickly. If you want to go enterprise, pick Java (or C#), but for everything else, it's as great as the devs writing in it.

> using memeworks and kikebraries
um sorry sweetie, but i exclusively write vanilla js
the problems i solve are much more complex than anything you can fathom with the CS101 understanding of development you have

No they aren't.

The people using JS who are 'replacing you' are people who were proficient in other languages but switched to Javascript, and/or people who have been engaged with Javascript for over a decade and know it inside and out.

They aren't babbies adding a little JS to a site who are replacing anything of importance.
