  1. I had to rewrite my job's code into full javascript because of list restrictions within C#. Microsoft made a weird choice with their having html elements being understood as controls which fall under collections since collections are a list type that can't be modified in any way whatsoever without throwing a runtime error. The project was a dynamic widget creator and having to interact between javascript, asp.net, and c# was an ordeal. Luckily, I was able to rebuild the program from the ground up without any issues and any of the restrictions.

  2. There is a video I watched that now is saying that javascript is complete shit and that people are moving to TypeScript.
    Im really starting to fucking hate the coding industry, because no one can make up their fucking minds on what is the standard.
    Some people in anther video says its not worth getting involved in JS since TS is going to take over. Here is just 1 video out of hundreds on youtube that is now
    trying to force people out of JS and into TS. – Why people cant make up their fucking minds. — We are still in the Framework War Hell……
    And now videos like the one I linked are trying to move people out of a language into another because THEY like the language and they just want everyone else to do the same
    Because they are biased and hating on JS and think TS is all the norm. — Its no wonder new developers are finding it hard to keep up let alone find a language to stay in.
    Because of the types of videos like the one I linked are confusing the living shit out of the new coding people. I just dont understand it, people need to stop their bullshit already.

    What I got out of that video is a guy that is extremely biased to TS and is saying that people should ditch JS because the new front end developers are
    going to use TS side by side with CSS and HTML and for everyone to throw away their JS. — Thats what I get out of that video.
    So I guess the new Front End developer language is now TS, CSS & HTML. as there will no longer be JS because as the guy says, its trashed.
    (Face Palm) give me a fucking break…… I feel so sorry for all the new front end developers having to put up with the bullshit. its no wonder they are so fucking confused.

  3. Wrong way to learn js is to buy a book called “JavaScript”.

    I think that the material for learning js is bonkers. The initial issue with js material was that it was largely covers from a Java/classical inheritance methodology. This was the first major issue. Then coffeescript came out and said enough to with the js long hand crap. And then esnext (es6) came out and the old materials were scrapped for the new syntax. Yet it getting up on the new syntax was only available from plundering the internet. To make learning js more challenging, React popularized concepts like “functional programming FP. immutability, pure functions and composition.” Again, there were no js books out there that covered any of this, yet all web resources took a hard turn into these areas. But js is FP like, yet not a full on FP language. What I’m getting at is that there is a ton of nuance that goes into learning js. There is more nuance than there is practical basics.

    I agree that the only way to learn is buy making stuff, but it’s hard to understand anything about js from the current tuts and resources. It’s really a long play effort. After an eternity of confusion, it all begins to make sense. And a lot of this confusion is derived from the fact that many of the resources for learning js absolutely SUCK.
