It doesn't matter, JShit doesn't belong anywhere but the browser and even there it's on thin ice. People have gotten way too comfortable with using a shit language for everything because the FANG overlords demand more JShit code monkeys for their tracker infested websites

Don't kwow why you're getting downvoted, seems like a reasonable comment to me.

I agree, JavaScript and all it has enabled is a curse.

If one wanted the good bits of JavaScript I'm sure there are languages they were copied from that could be used instead.

Or, as I prefer to call it, Kiddiescript.

The language is not the problem.

It isn't, it's the attitude and type of developer it's created
