~✿* My history with JavaScript *✿~
*JavaScript introduced to Netscape*
"This is cool"
*AJAX appears*
"Yes, useful"
*Early 'port X to JS' experiments* "Haha it's a fun experiment"
*node.js*
".. um"
*Production software moves to webapps*
"Wait"
*Electron everywhere*
"Oh no"
@proxeus @polychrome the only legitimate use of javascript is adding snow to websites.
@proxeus you feel old? I was a teenager o_o
@polychrome this is my history with JavaScript too. It's an unfolding nightmare. I can't help thinking node.js is the product of lazy developers not wanting to learn any other languages.
@polychrome electron would be at least slightly less awful if it didn't have a separate installation for each program
@polychrome Strange, quick! The Time Stone!!!
Even back then I knew that someone's opened Pandora Box.
