If you hate it, why do it? It's not like back end developers aren't in demand or won't be 5 years from now.

because every now and then, you need a little bit of a web front-end for a project you're working on, and it seems like overkill to hire somebody to do it for you.

i am in the same boat! i hate web programming. i know i can be easily ten times more productive in compiled languages.

every now and then i need a web front end as a component of a larger project. generally speaking, i can't justify hiring somebody to do that for me.

how about scala.js or maybe some other compiled&typed language that compiles to javascript ?

Anyway, i feel you and know the pain of frontend, gl.

OK, that's a good reason.
