JavaScript Fatigue or My History with Web Development

Re:JavaScript Fatigue or My History with Web Development by mattmanser on Tuesday June 27, 2017 @06:16AM (#14643851)

My feeling with the ever growing list of fotm js frameworks that are now firmly dead and buried in the ground is this:

    10 ShinyNewJSFramework = 1
    20 Use framework
    30 Do conference speech about how much better it is than JQuery
    40 Hit problem X
    50 Find ShinyNewJSFramework is nigh impossible to debug
    60 Eventually come to loathe framework because of problem X
    70 ShinyNewJSFramework += 1
    80 GOTO 20

This subroutine also describes 3.5B years of evolution. Nearly all ancestors of extant creatures are dead and buried too.

Yes, but evolution is stupid and slow. I don't want to wait 1 billion years for JavaScript to be developer-friendly.
