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

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.
