• 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.
