I was a C++ dev, I went to Java first which syntactically was similar but with "Clean Code" and Spring everything was completely upside down and took a long time to learn. I did a bunch of Python for Datascience which is nice but I dont love it. I'm doing a lot of front end Javascript right now and I think this is actually a great place to learn. Lots of WTF moments in Java are now clear that they're copying JS and are easier to learn in JS.
JS is everyone’s favorite language to diss, but I actually find it quite pleasant these days. In nearly every other language I tinker with, I find myself missing some aspect of JS.
I never thought I’d see the day. I wonder if it’s Stockholm syndrome.
Me too, I've avoided it as much as possible but now really love it. Apps can be done without any real server side work now too so is really a great platform.
