Re:How to Learn JavaScript on Saturday June 27, 2020 @03:14PM (#23663936)
While I really support starting up with a framework, I wouldn't recommend React for someone starting out with JavaScript. React strongly recommends JSX for starters (from my limited experience with it) and also has a build system, that even if neatly abstracted away introduces a small delay and another additional thing to do before you're up and learning.

Personally, I feel starting out with jQuery as a perfect introduction. There are no build tools, just a simple refresh and you see all your changes.

Wondering what could've been fixed instead.. 6 years ago emoji symbols weren't as predominant as today, I guess it's more of a marketing bug-fix, indeed.
