Founder & CEO @ Wolk Software | EP @ JSConfIE | Former TypeScript Microsoft MVP, writer, speaker technology-lover and OSS enthusiast. Author of InversifyJS.
I learned (in order) C, C++, Java, C#. I liked C# and I used it for many years but then I started to work with JavaScript, it was painful but there was something about it that made it extremely interesting for me. I missed things like the type safety but I also found myself enjoying working with JavaScript a lot.
I started to wonder why it is so popular. My own personal conclusion is that it is so popular because it is an extremely flexible programming language. The JavaScript flexibility is also its weakest point because it can be used for great good or great evil. The best advice I can give to a JS developer is: "With great power comes great responsibility".
