Comment on The WHY of WAT - understanding why 'JavaScript is Crazy'

Comments

The syntax doesn't bug me too much. Most of it is documented fairly well. The craziest thing about JavaScript is a lack of any good online reference for their classes and methods. JavaScript documentation usually just resorts to a key example or a brief description without covering all the details.

Add “MDN” to any javascript-related google query to get the MDN page at the top of the results page. Examples: “operator precedence mdn”, “string mdn”, “slice mdn”.

I always end up googling what i need and i find it rather easily. I find it more easy to fill in my query with keywords ans answer is usually in top5 results :)
