Discussion on: What are the best and worst things about your favorite programming language?

[eerk]

Of course it's javascript, what else could it be?

PROS

• Works everywhere.
• frontend, backend, microcontrollers, server, client, machine learning, AI, everything man...!
• All code is correct. Granted it will give you some errors here and there, but hey you can just offload those to your end user.
• no compiling!
• no installing a huge tool chain with dependencies all over your system, that still only work on your own machine and nowhere else.
• IDE editors are crazy fast (except webstorm).
• Exceptional at programming user interaction. No other language has so much out-of-the-box support for building and responding to user interfaces.

CONS

• All code is correct. Granted it will give you some errors here and there, but hey you can just offload those to your end user.
