Like it or not, JavaScript is good enough.
Really? I've been stuck for the past week or so trying to put
together a browser based UI using JavaScript + HTML for a work
related project. It has been a painful experience. In
fairness to JavaScript, I didn't know the language very well
coming in, but still I've found working in this setting rather
frustrating.
If the future of applications is really client-server based
applications, where the client is basically a VM (if we
consider the browser a VM of sorts) surely there is room for a
better development model than this HTML + Javascript mongrel.
I developed 99% of the JavaScript part of an application for a
year, and I have extensive JavaScript knowledge. After all
that, I wrote this. https://w0rp.com/blog/post/javascript-sucks/
Great. Now I have something to go an read for laughs whenever I
feel my blood-pressure exceeding safe limits :o)
