    All of those things are by design and comparing JS to a fully fledged OOP language is just the sign of a clueless developer.

    The JS standard is well defined and compatibility has nothing to do with the language itself

    • Terrible type system, terrible standard library, terrible compatibility and lack of many features

      All of those things are by design

      That makes it even worse.

        Lots of languages are typeless and the standard library is weak because web (NodeJS is good but npm is shit)

          I hate Node and NPM so much that I have a physical reaction to just seeing the words now.

          I already disliked Node & NPM quite a bit, but the hatred and disgust got to the point it is now after having to write a CI/CD pipeline in Groovy/Jenkins for a Node site that that our devs were building. I had to automate the build/deployment of Satan’s favorite framework in Satan’s favorite language. I came pretty close to quitting.

          It’s out the door now, but I’m in the middle of reimplementing the pipeline in Github Actions so I don’t drink myself to death when they come knocking to do it again.
