Found this gem. A single well made video in a channel. The Channel owner probably made this channel just to house one video I guess.

I havent watched it all the way through but it seems to have alot of substance. By the looks of it the guy probably has spent atleast a year developing professionally in C++ and is pretty pissed to make that video as a ventfest

See if you cant agree with something he said

Well two things:

  1. yes I can. It's perfectly possible for a slice of pie to be pleasant, and a slice of pie with ice cream to be more pleasant.

  2. the original point of discussion to kick off this thread was claiming that js is the least pleasant.

    It’s perfectly possible for a slice of pie to be pleasant, and a slice of pie with ice cream to be more pleasant.

    In my personal opinion though, that's not how I would describe Javascript vs. Typescript. Javascript was basically replaced overnight, to the point where you should be very harshly criticized for ever using it these days unless you're maintaining a legacy project.

    Yeah, we're describing it the same way. A slice of pie with ice cream is preferable unless you don't have ice cream available.

    If you want to go on a rant about JavaScript then just do so, stop trying to goad someone into an argument about it.

    I'm not trying to goad you into an argument, though I could have admittedly phrased things better. I just can't think of any reason why someone would want adopt Javascript as it is with all of its problems. A slice of pie is better than nothing at all. On the other hand, using Javascript when a much better alternative exists (namely Typescript) would be a significant liability in my opinion.

    In fact, pretty much everyone on our front-end team at work would agree too - they're pretty much unanimous in saying that Javascript should basically never be used.
